The simplest thing to do is to try to read the number on your present diodes. Then go to the internet and Google the number. That will tell you what value diodes you've got now. Then just buy the equivalent value (voltage and current) in any type you want. "UF" diodes are the best bang for the buck. Schottky diodes are the best, period. But Schottky diodes have a very low forward voltage drop. Thus, the output voltage from the Trip Lite might go up a bit with Schottkys inside. This could cause a problem, unless the output V is regulated. (I know nothing about the Trip Lite PR3.) No, there is nothing at all to be gained by using higher current- or voltage-rated diodes, above the original values.
