That thing really had us all worried for a full 48hrs. Wife was out of herself, making me feel like a murderer. This badboy poo like a bunny and hard as bricks, the part was showing 4 meter away when I got in the garage. Here's the same cap all brushed up after recovery. Not a single dent, go figure |

Have you re-measured the component after its adventure and cleaning? |
| Mecanix:
I actually did, funny enough. 445u on the DMM. Crazy stuff, I know lol |
| Mecanix:
Did I really just posted a pic of my dog's ass?? lmao. Sorry about that, guys. Damn, got to get back to work.... These caps are suddenly not cool. Had one trying to murder me 6 months ago. Had a 16V on a 24V rail (careless mistake) and it exploded like a nuke 2 feet away from my face. Still picking up its paper internal here and there still today. Then boom, the dog thinks it's a treat and throat it down like a pcs of cheese. We're haunted by the Evil Caps it seems Hope y'all had a good laugh with this canine eeAdventure. I certainly did, in a way! |

THEY seem to be perfectly sealed, and should just pass through, so I don't understand about 'Chemical Leaks' etc ??? :P --- End quote --- Intestines are conductive and short the battery. That produces both electric current and induces chemical reactions, both leading to necrosis. |
