   Re: OT: Question about diodes

   question:   
      
   Say battery is at 11vdc and Solar panel is at 15vdc (difference of 4vdc).   
      
      
   If the difference between the 2 segments is low, do I have to worry   
   about the diode letting some of the 15vdc flow towards the 11vdc ?   
   (which would bypass the solar charger and potentially damage battery)   
      
   Or are the diodes good at blocking current flow in the blocked direction   
   for anything betwene 0 volt difference and the max voltage difference   
   rating of the diode ?
