# If the capacitor passes these three tests, it is probably OK, and the lifted terminal can be resoldered.  It is a good idea to somehow mark the capacitor as having been checked.

An easier way to test these capacitors for value, leakage and esr is with an instrument that performs all three functions, such as a Sencore LC75. A benefit of using the Sencore is that leakage can be checked at the operating voltage of the capacitor, up to 600 V with the Sencore LC75, and up to 1000 V with the Sencore LC101.
