I imagine she can't plug a battery straight into her thought-meat, her body has to metabolize food and produce energy in a natural way to most efficiently provide energy. If her brain gets energy too fast, her brain will probably burn out all its synapses and she'll die. If her brain is getting too little energy, the parts of the brain that the power isn't getting to will atrophy and calcify, shortening her life significantly.

It's like, you can try and instantly charge a phone with a direct feed of 1000 watts, but the battery will probably explode. You could charge your phone with a rinky-dink corner store phone charger that's basically a single copper wire, but it's borderline useless and it'll probably fuck up your charging port. You might as well use the charger your phone came with, because the wattage is set at the recommended level and the charge will be at its most efficient.

Why would you risk fucking up a human brain by electrocuting it? If you build in a metabolistic system that provides power to the brain through the digestion of food, you're going to get a safe, optimised fuel source for that part of the body.
