1N4002 isn't a Zener diode, it's a rectifier diode.

Looking at the schaematic at https://keesvandersanden.nl/calculators/...ic_charger, D5 is a 4.7V Zener diode, and D1 to D4 are 1N4002 rectifier diodes.

Figure 8 at http://home.citycable.ch/pierrefleur/Jac...20unit.htm uses a 5.1V Zener, which is probably the one you want.

You definitely need a Zener diode of approximately the same voltage, as it is used to provide a reference voltage for the power supply circuit.

Probably any 5.1V Zener diode will do the job. It's not passing a lot of current in that circuit. An 1N4733A or a BSZ55C5V1, for example, should be more than adequate.

But I'll defer to those on this forum who have actual experience with these power supplies!
