I'm asking because when these fail, they die quick. So I'm wondering if this has something to do with it.

Nice!
Not 100% sure, but I am guessing the "raised diode looking item" is a thermistor to control the temp while charging, hence the 3rd (white) wire. If not, it may be a diode to regulate voltage going to the device/panel.
