The Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes haven't been tested for voltage drop since they are designed to be a pass-thru device that just keeps backfeeding from happening. When I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster they said that the voltage drop would be very minimal if anything. I like the Hy-Power Diodes because of how durable and effective they are. You can get this diode in a handful of qunatities:

1 - # RM-790
2 - # RM-792
3 - # RM-793
4 - # RM-794
