I'm not Dan, but I checked the wiring diagram which Alltrax provided with my controller. It shows the traction battery power (in this case 36v) connected to the "Logic B+" terminal through a 1 ohm 10W resistor. The "B+ Power" terminal is then connected to the Logic B+ terminal through a small diode. The cathode end goes to the controller B+ power terminal. Here's what the Alltrax manual says about this: "Pins 9 & 10 go through the 1 ohm 10 watt resistor and pin 10 has a 3A, 100V diode as shown. It keeps the controller caps from discharging back into the controls and the tractor."
