Another B744 electrical question

Normally batteries (APU and Main) are recharged continuously by AC Bus 1 through the Ground Service Bus and the battery chargers. Meanwhile DC Bus 3 powers the Main Battery Bus and the APU Battery Bus.

If one should lose AC Bus 1 in flight, will the batteries slowly discharge? Or will DC Bus 3 keep them charged?
