hehe..... well now you know why Rectifiers.. (large diodes) have heatsinks on them....

I tried that method. Diode got hotter than hell. Burnt right through the insulation I covered it with (and since it was bent the jacket came right off).

    Why not run the NSM5 on 24v? Just add a diode or two to the + side,
    the 1v drop on them will protect the NSM from
    the charge voltage of the bank. $2 fix
