Just got a datasheet from an aluminum electrolytic cap (75V 23k uF) and noticed it showed shelf life as 500 hours @85 deg C.. Does that seem crazy low to anyone else? I've seen others "claim" 3 years.
Do people routinely energize/reform caps on the shelf to extend their shelf life?
The caps could be on our shelves for a few months at most usually and I'd HATE to have to power them up every 20 days or so..
