    Want a Capacitor Lifetime calculator?

    A member asked how to calculate Wet electrolytic capacitor lifetime.

    I put together this calculator to make it easy.

        Hi, can I assume this calculator works for the caps in a typical 80's vintage Pioneer stereo receiver?

        Also, I assume the default values you have for max operating temp (105 deg C) and max life (2K) are typical for consumer electronics gear?

        Thanks, nice job!
