I have two simple questions.
#1
Is it alright to overshoot the farad ratings on a cap a bit? And if so, by how much?
For example, replacing a chemicon 3300uF 16v (ugh), with a 4700uF 16v rubycon.
#2
Would I be able [instead] to replace the same said chemicon 3300uF, with a polymer cap; in which I'd use a 1800uF polymer due to the lower ESR rating?
Thanks!

-->I'm guessing you'd divide the electrolytic's 3300uF by two, giving you 1650uF, which the polymer's 1800uF being the closest.
Thanks!
