So according to the article you can just place the esr meter directly
across the battery without damaging the meter? What effect will the two
back to back diodes which I installed for protection have on this??

Interesting idea, but I would think you would need to use a DC
blocking cap. A large non-polar cap would work.

The kit does have a blocking cap, 50VDC rated. It is when the voltage
goes much over that the the kit can be damaged. Hence the notice on the
front to discharge caps first!
