<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've got an application where I want to put a number of 9v batteries in parallel to increase the current capacity. I need to prevent the higher voltage cells from discharging into lower voltage ones, but I don't want to have the 0.7 volt diode drop. (Germanium diodes don't have enough current capacity.) Doe anyone have a circuit to do the same job as diode isolation without the voltage drop?</FONT></P>
