Well that's what I'm saying, if you don't change anything at all when starting a new career you'll have unlimited fuel and battery because that's the default setting for a new career. Again, you don't have to start a new career if you notice something you forgot to change, or decide it's too easy or too hard with the settings you chose, you can finish the patrol and change settings before starting the next patrol. Or, if you just started you can exit to main menu, load game "autosave when leaving base" 1 or 2. Whatever you set becomes the new default unless you change it again.
What I did was open the text file \Data\Cfg\GameplaySettings.cfg;

I changed the [Hard] list so dud torpedoes = false, manual targeting = false, then I can just select HARD each time and I don't have to customize it since it's already customized in the cfg file. At one time;

I edited that datablock to set everything except event camera to zero, and changed event camera to 100 so I got full renown with my custom settings, I never liked the event camera anyway. Changed that part back to the default settings a few years ago, because with all my resupply bases I generally sink 250 to 400 thousand tons per patrol anyway. 50% of way more than you need is still insane, you quickly run out of things to spend the renown on.
