[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 633538, member: 3775"] Yeah the Bypass Diode does all that, and also in the little Black Box on the back of the panels is a Blocking Diode as well and it's job is when it gets Dark it stops the power in the battery going back in to the Solar Panel, 1) so it can't drain the Battery and 2) so the Battery can't damage to Panel. Two tiny things that most of us never knew about, I knew about the Blocking Diode but not the bypass diode, I had a panel kill 2 pairs of batteries in one of my Mitsubishi's before I found out what was doing it, IE No Blocking Diode, Cheap panel and 4 expensive batteries, LOL, ]:D ]:D ]:D [/QUOTE]
