1. A power system, comprising:
a load node;
a first power source, comprising:
a first battery,
a first switch, connected to the first battery, and
a first diode, connected to the first switch and to the load node;

a second power source, comprising:
a second battery,
a second switch, connected to the second battery, and
a second diode, connected to the second switch and to the load node; and

a processor, configured to selectively control the first switch to electrically connect the first battery to the load node, and to selectively control the second switch to electrically connect the second battery to the load node,
wherein the processor is further configured to test the first diode while the first battery is electrically isolated from the load node.
