Think of "I don't care which way the power got plugged in" as AC.? Think of power to your circuit as DC from the bridge. For battery circuits, that two diode drop can be significant, even if you use schottkey diodes.

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.
