I have electronic devices manufactured in the early 90s and early 2000s and they use aluminum electrolytic capacitors and I store them in my house at a temperature of varies 34-36C with varies humidity of 58-68%. Can these devices remain stored indefinitely without use or is it necessary to follow some procedure because of the aluminum electrolytic capacitors? Do the devices work normally? |

Check on Internet about "Reforming an electrolytic capacitor". Lot of papers and videos. Mostly applicable for capacitors "stored" a long time and never used. May not be as good, though, as newer cap (mostly be aware of cheap capacitors produced at the period that you mentionned). You can also try to reform a capacitor in use in a circuit, but won't last as long as it did from its initial life. |
