I was told once that two 1 amp tv type diodes parallel will not work because one will always carry the load, but I am working on a car 30 amp battery charger and it has 6 diodes 1/2" press in type all parallel same as from a 10DN series Delco alternator from the 60's where they used three positive and three negative off the windings this must of worked as this is the way they built it. You could probably just put one 200 amp diode instead of six 25 amp but the cost might be more for one than six not to mention if you have 6 and one burns out 5 are still good.
