Thanks for this. I bought one of those 1000
capacitors / $3.00 bags a few years ago and
never quite knew what I had.
And thanks for the corrections.

If I may, here's a question.
I have a ton of ?electrolytic? 'cans' so how do I chose
the best cap for "Battery" style usage? (obviously not
for constant voltage, its a cap) Some must be best at
EG 60hz operation, and some for the longer charge
cycles - just which ones?
And does "forming" always help?
