Such a diode would need to be selected to handle the expected maximum current and voltage levels of the system. Also be sure that your system can tolerate the small drop in battery voltage that the diode will cause. Some medium power Schottky diodes can have minimal voltage drops. | |

| Feb 10, 2016 at 14:30 | comment | added | Clengman | Thanks! This is much appreciated. I was planning to just purchase a battery with protection circuit from battery space along with the recommended charger. Since this will be the most expensive single component of the whole build, I wanted to take extra care to get the most life out of it. | |
