They may. Idk. The electric motor can be used to add a lot of torque from a standstill, so it may be fine. I really don't know how much weight, as a percentage, the batteries will add compared to all the armor it already has. The hybrid system will improve efficiency though (imagine how much regenerative breaking will return with that beast of a machine stopping), so offsetting some of the weight with a smaller fuel tank may be viable.

Either that or find a smaller or more efficient fuel motor (turbine?) to save the weight

They are already using a (relatively) very compact gas turbine on the standard Abrams.
