You could put a switch across the diodes so that you can shunt around them when
the battery voltage reaches a safer level.

What would happen if you connected the K1 up to say 16 vdc?

Ron,
OK, I'll go out on a limb here and say that probably nothing would happen if
the K1 were accidently connected to 16 volts. 20 volts create a problem but
I don't believe 16

As far as I can tell it would work just fine.
I went through the schematics and found all of the components (I hope)
that use the unregulated input voltage and researched them on the net.
The results are:

You also have to consider the power dissipation of the regulators. This
will vary with the heat sink if any o each of them.
You can connect diodes in series with the power input. The voltage drop
will e the junction voltage plus the the IR drop due to the current. You
can find out the total
