Only thing i saw in the U 995 recently was there were switches for a parallel circuit ('Parallelschaltung') and connection in series ('Hintereinanderschaltung'), but i do not know what this referred to..
Max speed at 7/8 knots could not be further improved as far as i know, and it would only be possible to maintain this speed for roughly an hour.
Batteries were not divided laterally in left and right ones, though you could of course bridge cells and remove damaged ones from the circuit if need be.
