I'd be very interested in hearing of anyone's
experience with polarized caps that survive
reverse polarity in circuit with power applied
over a long period of time.  We have done a
test with a SMT style cap that just sits there
for a while doing nothing.  I'm familiar with
reversed caps blowing up within a short period
of time.  These are different.  5 volt level
but tons of current if demanded.

Any ideas?  We are talking to the cap mfr,
but it's not getting anywhere ...
