Cool. That is good to know. I am only familiar with things like rectifier bridges on auto alternators and magnetos.
Thanks,
Dave

Helps if you think of AC as DC that keeps getting it's polarity reversed.
So yes, a diode bridge will let DC through, but one polarity will get
flipped.

I thought a diode bridge or bridge rectifier was to convert AC to DC. So
does a
diode bridge work on DC?
Thanks,

Dave,
The easy, foolproof way is to add a diode bridge and it does not
matter how it is plugged in.
The drawback is that you have two extra diode voltage drops.
