This is interesting :
" a new German technology in which the propulsion system combines a conventional diesel lead-acid battery system and an air-independent propulsion system used for slow, silent cruising, with a fuel cell equipped with oxygen and hydrogen storage."
and they are apparently very, very quiet.

From what I've heard they are the best littoral sub ever built. VERY quiet and able to operate in shallower water than nukes.

Most likely a fuel cell to recharge the batteries. Would be very effective.
