    Default Re: Switching between power source and battery

    Actually, his article using diodes was the first one I looked at. But I eventually went with his transistor approach.

    D'oh!

    So, how do I go about selecting a diode that can take 15V 5A?

    EDIT: Based on 1N4007 classification on Digikey as rectifier standard 1KV 1A, I searched on Digikey for DIODE - RECTIFIER - STANDARD - 5A and came up with these:

    BY500-400 400V 5A thru-hole
    S5GC-13-F 400V 5A surface mount
    (I like to have both types)

    I figure it's not like I have to go up to 1000V...?
