Title: Wind turbine and solar together

Hi, If I have the wind turbine output connected to the Classic output which are both common to the battery positive, should I have a diode in the circuit anywhere?
Thanks,

Classic should not need it, if you go directly to the battery and not through the controller.

Turbine, however may need one to keep it from motoring when there is no wind but that has nothing to do with The Classic.

Thanks, I'll check the Air-X specs for diodes and motoring.
