Gary, I don't see how hooking up the two connections in any particular order
can cause alternator diodes to be damaged. You need both connections in order
to have current flow, so I don't see why this is true. I taught electronics
for many years and this result seems counter to all that I know about DC
theory. Please explain or give us a reference to further data.
Thanks,
Pat
