Default Re: EZGO Charger Diodes

Hmmmmm....

Here's a Fairchild Semiconductor GBPC3501 at Newark Electronics for < $4. It's 35A, 100 peak inverse voltage. The data sheet PDF is here.

That's a whole heck of alot cheaper than the ~$25 I paid for two 1N1188 stud rectifiers a couple of weeks ago at my local EZGO dealer.

Could we have more discussion on the pros and cons of using a full wave bridge in a charger vs. the designed half wave?

Thanks,

RLW
