Manufacturers of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in storage recommend energizing these components once every 1 or 2 years and the temperature range is 5-35C and humidity is below 75C. After this interval, under these maximum conditions, they recommend refurbishing. Do these recommendations only work on new aluminum electrolytic capacitors with little or no use because their chemistry is new and unchanged, or does this recommendation also work on old aluminum electrolytic capacitors that are used and assembled in electronic circuits and manufactured in the early 1990s? |
