Can Two Batteries Power a Lunar Roving Vehicle Without Exceeding 9 Volts?

[Darth Frodo]

I must design a lunar roving vehicle. One of the criteria is that the electric power cannot exceed 9 volts. My teacher said that is I have 2 batteries powering the front wheels separately then the power remains at 9 volts and not at 18 volts. Is this true?

Thanks!

Unless the batteries are connected in series, it is true.
