Okay...
I scored a "small" pile of 3.3mF 450VDC(525V surge) 85°C electrolytic capacitors, looks like they are "BC" branded capacitors, looks like Vishay bought them. Now...what can I do with them. Unfortunately probably not low ESR caps else making a railgun would have been something.
½CV² with these is no joke... with one of these on the input of a psu would have a significant hold up time.
Do people normally short the terminals of such large capacitors during storage? Or probably the previous owner worried about the lurking of the evil charge sending one flying in a very un-technician-like manner?
