A diode only lets current travel one direction. Im not sure which specific
diode you'll need for that application!

Hello, I got a VW dealer solar panel (2003) that was used when transporting
new VWs.  Will there be a problem using it on my westy?  I heard that I
need something called a diode to prevent reverse electricity.  I don't know
if this has a diode or if a diode is in the cigarette lighter.
