According to U-Boat Far From Home. The epic voyage of U-862 to Australia and New Zealand:

"One shaft was kept running at half speed coupled to a diesel while the batteries were charged using the diesel dynamos. The remaining shaft was coupled to the motor with current from the batteries. With this arrangement the greatest range could be covered while proceeding at approximately 7 knots."
