No. There are generators that are coupled to an electric motor.
So the electric motor uses power from the dead batteries to run the generator to recharge the dead batteries?

Sorry, I don't believe in perpetual motion.
Sailor Steve, not on subs, but on a US Navy Surface Ship thank can generate a tremendous ammount of electricity with its Electrical plant setup.
While it may be very well possible to charge a subs batteries from a ships energy plant surely it would be easier to transfer some fuel. In either case were still back to a 'rescue at sea' which is not modeled in the game.
