I paralleled Schottky diodes with the other diodes already installed in Electrical Boxes A), B) and C). Only shown is the one installed in Electrical Box A).
Only one of these Schottky diodes is necessary for future builds.
Information below:
Mfg. :
On Semiconductor
Name:
Schottky Barrier Rectifier 10 Amperes 35 to 45 Volts
Mfg. Part# :
MBR1035G
Package:
TO-220 (Pb-Free)
Allied part# :
568-0787
Cost:
$0.527 each for 10 pieces (not including handeling and shipping)
Forward Voltage drop at 10 Amps and 125C is .55 Volts. At room temperature and less amperage drop will be less.

** Note **
I did a quick test by installing option C) Electrical Box with the positive and negative clipped to the battery in reverse. This allowed the motor to run in reverse. While letting the motor run in reverse from the battery, I measured the voltage across the Schottky diode at .44 Volts. This is at approximately 30 watts (I didn't measure Amps this time).
