Diode

[worktohobby]

Hello,

On my bus this diode is located in the left front compartment. It
has a yellow #10 AWG wire running to it from the battery combiner
relay. There is also a 30 amp self reseting braker to limit current.
All in same compartment.

This is a common diode that any good electronics parts store should
have in stock. The higher the amp rating the better. Or, you can use
a battery isolator, they have heavy duty diodes in them too. If it
burns out, simply move the output to bank 2.

The the best solution is a modern battery combiner that bypassing
this diode completely. This will turn on only when charging voltage
is detected (13+ volts) and are very reliable. And for the first
time (if your generator has no alternator), your generator battery
will be recieving a decent charge.

Your genset will spin faster.
