We use a bridge rec and an resistor for bat back up .. as skopp notes the resistor is for current limitting .. so the PS does not take a jolt if the battas are low
I will see if I can find the drawing and post ot the group .. if not I will do another and post nice thing is you can put this inside the PS and bolt it the the frame .. and bring out 2 connectors for the batt .. I allways over rate the bridge I hope this helps ..
