Yeah, a double inline diode, (series) would decrease the voltage by about 1.4 volts. What I meant was a double side by side (parallel) diode. That would provide for a backup path for the current if one diode happened to fail. There's one out there, I just can't find the post that referred to it and gave the part number for it. Of course a person could just wire in two diodes, but I thought the double diode was rather neat and easy to use.
