When the battery need charging, one of the engines runs to do this (I think the starboard one) and the other is used for propulsion. So if you are stopped on the surface, the engine is running and making a racket. If you are moving, the speed is reduced significantly. If you need more speed, you can request the Chief Engineer officer to discontinue charging the batteries.
