What was the purpose of the diode in the charging circuit for our electric cars?

• it allowed current to go in both directions so excess voltage in the charged battery can ‘drain out’

• it only allowed current to go in one direction so the voltage in the charged battery does not ‘drain out’

• it kept the circuit cool

• it increased the voltage
