Hmm re-reading the various suites descriptions... the medium and heavy suites provide bonuses to skills while the light suite does not. I think that for the light suite the only benefit is that 'charged punch' and when you charge another hand-held electrotech devices. So normally the suite does not need to be charged to grant the basic DR. Maybe it does to provide the +1 DR vs. electrical attacks (and that is what costs 1ep per hour). Sounds like your thoughts also
