How do you tell the differense between Ecaps and non Ecaps if they look alike. There is no indication of minus or plus and both ends have a groove. What are they?

ecaps = electrolytic caps?
electrolytic capacitors are usually marked. If they look like ceramic capacitors, then it hard to tell of coarse.
Usually, Tantalum caps are the ones that look similar to ceramics... but alot of them are marked. If they are not marked, then it will be hard
No. Basically what I'm saying is that if its not marked, you will not know just by looking at it.
