The voltage stabilization characteristics of the anti-reverse diode are realized by its special structure and material composition. Under forward voltage, anti-reverse diodes behave similarly to ordinary diodes, with on and off characteristics. Under reverse voltage, when the voltage exceeds the rated voltage of the anti-reverse diode (called blocking voltage or Zener voltage), the anti-reverse diode will start to conduct and maintain a stable voltage at this voltage. This voltage stabilizing feature allows anti-reverse diodes to be used as voltage regulators or voltage reference sources.
Anti-reverse diodes have a wide range of applications, common applications include:
Voltage regulator: The anti-reverse diode can be used as a voltage regulator to provide a stable voltage output. It can stabilize the input voltage at a specific blocking voltage value, which is used to protect other circuit components from excessively high or low voltage.
Voltage reference source: Since the anti-reverse diode can provide a stable voltage output, it is often used as a reference source in the circuit. For example, in an analog circuit, an anti-reverse diode can be used as a reference voltage source or a comparison voltage source.
Overvoltage Protection: Anti-reverse diodes can also be used in overvoltage protection circuits. When the voltage in the circuit exceeds the blocking voltage, the anti-reverse diode turns on, bypassing the excess voltage around critical components to protect them from damage.

Hook it up to my deep cycle battery and it would not charge no matter which way I hooked it up.

The tabs coming through that your wires mount to are very thin, and one of mine broke after a couple months allowing my wire to fall off and short out on a piece of metal. Luckily nothing was permanently damaged as my alternator overloads worked, but my inverter setup I use daily is down until I get a better replacement.
