Welcome, russatt.

No diodes required. Remember that a voltmeter has an incredibly high internal resistance. Otherwise even checking the voltage of a battery between the posts would cause a massive short circuit.

Chargers are another issue. Only isolated chargers can be used in the way I am or else there will be a massive short circuit through the AC side.
