Fixing old car battery charger. Do not want to buy new one because I need
the 6 volt capability for my vintage motorcycle.

Need to replace a "button style" (Motorola MR2506) rectifier with a "stud
mounted" one (Motorola 1N1190A) The stud mounted on has a higher rating.
Question: Data sheet says button battery cathode marked by "dot". Dot no
longer visible on installed parts. Is it safe to assume that the wires
from the transformer secondary lead to the Anode and the body of the
"button style" (cathode) is pressed into the aluminum plate?
Thank you for your help.

In the UK, we have discount stores like Aldi & Lidl that do time limited
offers, battery chargers come around from time to time and sometimes they're
6V capable.

The David Silver Honda parts specialist allegedly has 6V capable Honda
branded Optimate chargers - but never on any of the occasions I tried to
order one.
