So as of so far for big caps pretty have just been checking them for visual signs.
Basically with my multimeter I can only test smaller caps, with big caps I cant get a reading even after leaving it attached for a while. Is this due to not having enough juice to charge cap?
Do you need special equipment to test larger caps? Ive got a ESR meter like this ebay transistor / esr tester (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...6&postcount=50)
but the pitch is a bit small but could solder leads to it but again I'm sure ive tried before and same issue not getting a reading on larger filter caps.
Caps I'm wanting to test are 63v 10000uf Samsung SMS caps.
