The matter of using 2 batteries in series is to have more current (amperage) available.

Two guiding principles govern Israel Naval Commando doctrine:

1.Every defense system is vulnerable.

2.The enemy can deal with weapons and operational methods that are known; for that reason, naval
 commandos use imagination, daring and initiative, to create situations which cannot be anticipated.
