So, maybe 12-13 years at most. But, that's beside the point.

So 20 may still be the number.

Have you ever seen an old electrolytic capacitor blow up? One of my
childhood acquaintances had one go right through the ceiling.



Never saw one explode that violently. The ones I saw just bulged the
top or bottom out until one of them ruptured, releasing the gases.
