HP82002A replacement capacitor

[BusyCalc]

Hi Tony,

thanks for your information.

I'm a little bit worried about the "battery damage due to overcharging", because I read some threads regardind melted latch doors because of overheating in the battery.

As the charging times are so long, up to 24 hours with a 1.000 mAh battery, I'd like to avoid sleeping with one eye open.

If the capacitor were aged and faulty, wouldn't appear ripple in the output voltage? Or which is the exact purpose of the capacitor?

Kind regards,

Oscar
