Default Re: Understanding Dual Can Electrolytics

A friend told me that they called an ESR meter a "Smugometer" because in a service and repair scenario at best they can only confirm a diagnosis.

If they don't leak physically, there's no excessive electrical leakage at rated voltage, and hum or ripple on the supply, then any replacement is likely to have inferior longevity.

Just my humble opinion.
