    Diode Blocks

    I am thinking designing a charging module for my motorcaravan .The basic idea is to use 2 diodes so I can charge both batteries from one charger , the diodes isolate the 2 batteries from each other, but the problem with this idea is the forward voltage drop across the diodes this could be as much as 1 volt ( might be less using schottky diodes).
    What I was thinking about was using power MOSFETs instead of diodes ,would this work and lose less voltage ?

      On M-Audio AV40 active studio speaker's two zener diodes get really hot.
      by Dvsr
      Hi. I need help from wiser guys. I am amateur in electronics and can't figure this out by myself.
      I bought faulty speakers, M-Audio AV40's. Other speaker has all the electronics in it and the other speaker is just passive one powered by the other speaker's amp. Original problem with the speakers was loud buzzing. I figured out that there is something wrong with the capacitors. I went ahead and replaced every electrolytic capacitor on the PCB. The caps are good quality and have the same values as the original ones.
      After replacing the caps I started testing out the speaker. It seemed...

      Cyberpower cps1500avr not charging batteries
      by carrzkiss
      Hello, all.

      Cyberpower Battery Backup Unit.

      I bought two new ML18-12 batteries through Amazon (They have already refunded my money for the two batteries as we thought the batteries might have been bad.)
      When I got them in, they were not fully charged. I connected them to the UPS and waited 24 hours before connecting any networking equipment.
      In parallel, they read 24v, but within 24 hours, the meter on the front of the unit dropped from 4 to 3 bars on the battery charge indicator.
      Checking the voltage, it was down to 22v.
      I quickly removed everything...

      What Zener Diodes on a Linear Power Supply
      by caspian
      Dear members,

      I have a linear variable power supply with unknown brand name that I used for voltage injection.
      Then it failed. I discovered that its transistors (Q1 and Q2) are shorted.
      In addition, I discovered that its zener diodes are defective.
      I can replace the burned transistors.
      But I do not know the model of the zener diodes. the model number is not marked on the zener diodes.
      Therefore, I cannot replace the zener diodes.
      I do not want to test the zener diodes in a test circuit to discover their model or value.
      no schematics are available...

      Where do repair shops buy MB replacement batteries?
      by howardc64
      Order my parts from mobilesentrix.com and iPhone batteries have been excellent. Recently got 3x bad A1534 (2015) batteries. All would work until ~30-40+% and drop to < 10% instantly. Typical sign of cheap batteries.

      Perhaps the less popular A1534 model's aftermarket batteries are more source limited. Just find it surprising quality from mobilesentrix (usually fairly high quality aftermarket parts) have been so poor.

      BTW, this isn't the only defective parts I've had from mobilesentrix. Amongst others including iPad Air touch screen and A1989 touch bar (display was...

      Finding replacement diode iPad Pro 3rd gen A1701
      by asr
      Hello, I am looking for help to replace a damaged diode. The tristar was replaced and a diode was damaged in the process. I have a picture of the diode but dont have an exact donor. I mostly have macbooks for donors and only a few ipad and iphone boards. Diode part number: DSF01S30SCAP
      Im not sure where to find the ipad board number. Anybody have an idea where else this diode is used on other boards? Thanks....
