Basically, when you load something to a batch, you add the sprite's information into your video-card memory. The batch itself is a list in the hardware memory that only needs a single software command to be sent to the video-card for it to be drawn. You can do it yourself using OpenGL's display lists; batches just do it all for you in a very very convenient manner. Loading things into video memory requires more communication with the video-card which makes things a lot slower, and migrating between batches requires everything to be reloaded.
Simply put, and if you require further depth on the subject you'll probably need to read about OpenGL and how video-cards work.
