What is a surprise to me is that they are not polarity sensitive.I thought the very nature of a diode was to be one-way.From what I see most misinformation comes down the guy on the street from higher up.I was at a little seminar for chainsaw dealers a few years ago,and the rep was there giving a talk.He was telling us to shake our saws when they sat for more than 20 minutes.I thought it was to mix the synthetic oil they wanted us to use,but it wasn't.He said the new oils mix fine with alcohol,but the alcohol started it's phase separation in minutes.We couldn't believe a factory rep could be so ignorant of fact,and was out there preaching it.
