I don't think this ship has the more flexible design where the engines turn generators which power electric motors, one on each shaft. They really don't have to use batteries in the way I think you meant. It would be helpful if someone here knows what the propulsion and generator system layout is on the ship in question. I'm guessing (WAG) two main direct-drive engines and at least two aux. generators.
