A capacitor will only blow if you go above it's ratings. You can let the
little pup charge forever in it's limits if you like, because as it
charges up the voltage across it goes down untill there is no voltage
across it (In theory! as there will always be some V across it), which
means it's not charging anymore.

8071 Tue, 30 Nov 1999 16:51:11 -0700 [alt-beam] D1 SE Beam List Senior The old D1 SE... what's the minimum (Sp?) voltage it requires? Does it
discharge fully?
Thanks,
Kyle

I have :)
