I wasn't previously aware of those Texas devices, which seem to have a much lower forward voltage drop than either an ordinary Silicon rectifier (Typically 0.6 to 0.8 V) or a Schottky Diode (Typically 0.4 to 0.5 V). This would be especially useful for a 6 volt system, and would probably make heatsinking unnecessary.
