using only a diode will only allow for half of the electricity to charge the battery, and half of the electricity to run the accessories (horn, lights). So why not use a full wave bridge rectifier??? Only costs $3 at RS or u can make ur own out of 4 diodes.
Actually now that i think about it, not using a rectifier may only allow for 25% and not half. 1/2V x 1/2A = 1/4W
