I think I've seen something like that today in Gembird (really crap brand) PSU (made 2004).

some sites confuse them with MGE UPS SYSTEMS they are in my bad books anyway but time to sue for passing off?

I've seen this 'Unite' brand electrolytic capacitor before. Also, I have seen a 'United' brand electrolytic capacitor as well.

I guess the CD110 and CD263 and CDxxx series are used by more than one Chinese manufacturer - they are usually of poor quality...

The 'Gembird' manufacturer can be found www.gembird.cn - they also manufacture UPS units as well - would you trust them with their UPS units?

Re: unite caps in mge vigor 400,apower misc models

Personally, I wouldn't buy Gembird UPS. I have two things from Gembird and both are bad:

FlexiDrive - USB 3.5" HDD rack - sometimes works, sometimes not. They left out a small watchdog chip that should reset the controller so it detects as unknown device sometimes. I used it very rarely, but the handle of the plastic rack broke despite that...

KVM mechanical switch - the wires inside were very bad, resulting in ghosts on monitor - so I replaced RGB with proper shielded cables (cut from monitor cable), then after about a month of usage, the switch started to fail and sice I like all RGB colors on my screen, not only some of them, I had to throw away everything from inside and build a simple electronic switch there (3 relays for RGB and CMOS switches for the other signals).
