Electric valve would prevent this as long as it is getting power?

I doesn't hurt anything. I've forgotten to close mine after a session and have not had a problem. Maybe a little smoke on startup.
It's not quite 2 quarts. If you start with a 7psi precharge, at 60psi of engine oil pressure, the accusump with have 56.5 oz of oil in reserve. (If my math is correct LOL)
Also, the first half of the discharge is reasonably rapid. Discharge slows considerably as the pressure and volume in the accusump decreases.
