When powering a battery operated circuit, the experimenter must make a decision: either take his chances (Murphy loves this one), or opt to add protection in the form of a simple series diode.

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...
