JohnnieB,
I'm aware that the term "steering diode" describes its function, not the device itself. Somewhere in my "stash", I have the entire rectifier assembly for a welder of some sort. IIRC, it has several VERY heavy duty diodes attached to a largish heat sink.

Would the voltage drop from the diodes cause any trouble during charging?
