Why is it that electrolytic capacitors get heavier (in weight) when they are old, As I understood it -the electrolyte evaporates after time and use, so wouldn't this make them lighter.
Over the past few weeks I have been replacing lots of large old caps in psu's and amps and have discovered the new ones (identical in size, value, voltage, and manufacturer are actually lighter than the old ones by 4-5 grams.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
