Default Bi-Polar Nichicon Muse.

I just got a whole bunch of these in an ebay lot. I am confused as to their utilization. What does Bi-polar actually mean? Are these just caps with no polarity? So I could use these in place of polymer caps?

Like you said, a electrolytic capacitor with no polarity. You'd use them in places where the cap could be biased in either direction.

You can use them in place of film capacitors for signal coupling, but it is generally agreed that their performance is inferior, so you'd only use them when it is impractical to use a film cap, either for reasons of size or cost.
