My preference would be to go head to head, but if I did, batteries would no longer be an issue. Nor would breathing...
Seriously, in sixteen cruises, plus various missions, I've never been depth charged for 8 hours. They run out of depth charges in under an hour. Even in the stock game they carry about 150 charges (way too many!) and you can run them out of depth charges. It isn't really necessary to do so. You can escape in about an hour with good evasion tactics and be back on the surface in an hour and a half.
If the escorts have a solid contact on you for eight hours you need to work on your evasion technique.
