Capacitor marked 10WV???

Post by 3pinplug »

Hi all
Doing a re-cap and one of the electrolytics is marked as 330uf “ 10WV” is this just a 330uf 10v or is it rated at 10watts?

Not come across a cap with a watt rating on it before, if thats what it is, hope someone knowledgeable on these can help?
Thanks!

What is PS voltage? I assume 13.8V.
Use cap @25V, no worries.
