Message: <blockquote data-quote="Indecided" data-source="post: 380869">A key point to note is that the closer the operating voltage (14.4V) present to the maximum voltage (16V), the shorter the lifespan of the capacitors. You don't have to exceed the voltage to be harmful, you have to be too close.. 1.6v/16v is a 10% margin.. sounds a tad too narrow for me.One month is definitely too soon to gauge effects of poor voltage selection.. you are basically just testing fate here. Cheap parts might just fail earlier...that's all. Capacitors (esp electrolytic) HAVE a lifespan. They don't work forever.If your alternator were to go faulty on you and the voltage peaks above 17V.. oxide film will form equivalent to the voltage on the anode foil. After that... gases will be generated and then pressure in the capacitor will build up. You'd be thankful things don't blow up then... Afterall, there is no major cost difference between 16v and 25v... don't risk your electronics for ignorance. You can't say that if ECU goes, the VS goes as well.. that is testing fate... you should be able to say that even if the ECU can go my VS will still survive the surge! :huh:</blockquote>
