The name promises the discharge of a charging turret. The value is resolved against the sound registry and stored, and no gameplay path reads the slot back.

Its companion is live: a structure whose primary weapon carries Charges=yes, and which is switched on, fully powered and has a target, plays TeslaCharge at its own position as the wind-up starts. The shot that follows makes only the sounds its own weapon names.
