Capacitor temperature is surprisingly high in industrial environments when we consider elevated enclosure temperatures as well as self-heating due to ripple current. The rule of 10 is a simplistic model for determining the longevity of electronics. Each 10°C increase in temperature reduces the life by a factor of 2. More sophisticated models
Customer ServiceIf voltage is applied to the capacitor after a longer storage time, this can initially cause an increased regeneration leakage current. Shortly after a DC voltage is applied, the leakage current is relatively high and asymptotically decreases to a low leakage current after some minutes.

Customer ServiceHigher formation voltages permit higher operating temperatures but reduce the capacitance. The low-temperature limit of an electrolytic capacitor is set largely by the cold resistivity of the electrolyte. The higher cold resistivity increases the capacitor''s ESR 10 to 100 fold and reduces the available capacitance.

Customer ServiceThe rule of 10 is a simplistic model for determining the longevity of electronics. Each 10°C increase in temperature reduces the life by a factor of 2. More sophisticated models account for voltage, ripple current, and even airflow. The operational lifetime of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is directly related to temperature.

Largely the formation voltage sets the high-temperature limit. Higher formation voltages permit higher operating temperatures but reduce the capacitance. The low-temperature limit of an electrolytic capacitor is set largely by the cold resistivity of the electrolyte.
The higher cold resistivity increases the capacitor’s ESR 10 to 100 fold and reduces the available capacitance. The electrolyte is a complex blend of ingredients with different formulations according to voltage and operating temperature range.
For long periods of storage keep capacitors at cool room temperatures and in an atmosphere free of halogen gases like chlorine and fluorine that can corrode aluminum. Storage temperature ranges are from –55 ºC to the upper limit of the operating-temperature ranges. Sources: Capacitor Selection Guide - KEMET (.PDF)
