Cool deal! Good feeling when you get over that hurdle huh?
I generally keep to XR7 type caps with the higher voltage (25V to 50V) rating.
from: http://www.interfacebus.com/Engineer...acitors10.htmlVoltage Duration: Capacitors are operated at a voltage below their rated value then the reduced stress and lower leakage current will give an improvement in the life expectancy. Since leakage current increases with temperature the benefit of a reduced operating voltage is more pronounced at higher temperatures.
