I kinda skipped that I guess, lol!
Ok, so there is a tolerance in regards to the uf rating on these types of filter caps and many times it's like minus 10 to plus 20%.
This means that if you had the kind of tester to look at a caps uf value that it is possible to have a cap labeled for 4800 uf and another labeled for 5200 uf both test out the same.
I would want both of my filters to be within 10%.
