Synergistic Research MPC plugged in 24/7?

Thanks Dan! Actually mine has not died but I just got it modded by Michael Spallone and lifespan on the Cap is listed as 7000 hours which is about 292 days if plugged in 24/7. I am perhaps reading the spec sheet wrong and misinterpreting what the lifespan number means.

Did some more digging on what endurance means. I guess this is the rated lifespan when the capacitor is operating at max temp and ripple current. Supposedly a rule of thumb is for every 10 deg C drop in operating current, lifespan increases by a factor of 2. So if my cap is rated at 7000 hours at 105C, a drop to 95C would increase lifespan to 14000 hours, still not all that great. I think I will unplug my modded MPCs when not in use.

Thanks Michael, got your email as well. Thank you for the replies. Frankly, I am so impressed with your mod that I just want to make sure I take care of it so it lasts! Keep on the lookout for more MPCs sent your way in the not so distant future. Thank you for a great mod!
