The batteries supply the current

The capacitors are there to lower the impedance. I run my whole system without electrolytics, so it can certainly be done. Just a matter of what you want. Most amplifiers don't have a huge bank of capacitors, so they obviously aren't necessary for operation. But if you like the sound better with a bank of electrolytics to further lower the bus impedance, that's completely understandable. I was just mentioning to the OP that there is more than one path, and for some of us that other path with the electrolytics designed out of the audio circuits is the more fulfilling one. The power supply is all in the signal path.
