Does anyone knows about capacitor aging ?
 

Re: capacitor aging

most applicable about electrolytes, when electrolyte dries and loss its charactristics over time.
 

Re: capacitor aging

they age but much slower than batteries
 

Re: capacitor aging

do you know where to get information about aging in each type of capacitor, how the capacitance is changed by time. the one I am most interested is matallized polyester film capacitor, which does aging a little, but in reality, it is not quite ture.

capacitor aging part 2

To all:

Thank you for everyone who contribute your knowledge to it.
According to asoon recommanded website, it says that film capacitors is aging only 1% for its life time.
But one of my capacitor is aging 10-20 percents, and it is Metallized Polyester
Film capacitor(ECQUL , 0.15uF, 275V). Anyone knows why this is happening .

Thank you
