It's not noted on the skill nor on the ship, but I wanted to ask in case anyone knew...does the Mining Barge skill reduce the CPU need of Ice Harvester/Strip Miner lasers? I ask because on upgrading my Procurer to a Retreiver, while I can fit two Ice Harvesters, I now cannot fit a small cap battery because of CPU shortage. I would have thought that the CPU would have scaled up with the ships. If anyone knows, or is in a position where they can check itwithout any trouble then I'd be grateful to know.

The mining barge reduces the cpu of the strip miners et al, due to it's complicated onboard electronics, not the skill.
How come you are trying to fit a cap battery, the cap should be sufficient to run both miners without worry.

The cap is sufficient for the barges to operate just fine. But I've found that it can take umpteen jumps to get across the longer systems because it's quite low in comparison to other ships. I think that's a reason why folk might add a battery.
(Skills do help considerably, just suggesting a reason)

so deactivate the miners while traveling if you want to fit the battery. I fit two cap power relays on mine and it seems to work fine, I dont need a cap battery.

Even with the miners deactivated it takes several warps to cross a 50 AU distance.

Pretty much as Arte said, increasing the max cap means it can warp further as well as increasing cap recharge indirectly. My setup is:
Hi: 2x Ice Harvester
Mid: Small Cap Battery II (Not enough CPU)
Low: Nanofiber, Small Armour Repairer II
The above with one miner fit on the procurer. I was then wondering whether the mining barge skill decreases CPU reqs/lvl or is it just that they simply take a small set amount regardless of skills? If it's the latter, then it means that the better barges will have less CPU for *other stuff*, and I know the PG is the same on all three as well. Seems a bit silly that the stats aren't scaled to allow an extra strip miner without affecting a small base amount for general fittings. I've got MIning Barge 3 and am not really prepared to train it to 5 for the Coveter, but would train it to four if it meant reducing CPU on those lasers.

What's your warp drive operation skill at, at the moment?
