OK, so the battery pack powers a motor that turns the alternators that recharge the battery pack? No, that won't work and is a form of a perpetual motion machine. There are power losses in each of those steps (energy is lost as heat) and you will get less power back in the pack than what you took out in the first place. It's a net loser. You don't even have to build it, I can tell you that it is
impossible to make this work.
