You are technically correct, although I admit I am not expert in electronics. I did, however, read up on the Zenner diodes. It's why I decided to go with a couple of simple diodes to step the voltage down a bit. You know the old KISS approach- keep it simple stupid! When huck1199 mentioned the Zenner diode as a consideration, I acknoledged that it is an option, particullary since the current being regulated is fairly constant. I would hope each individual would either get some specific advice or do a little research before making any modifications to their battery packs. But, point taken.

I got the idea for using a coupleof specific diodes and a installation diagramto bootfrom a RCU post.

Thanks,
