I wasn't trying to say there isn't anything else to it, but voltage is the
largest factor - an exponent of 7.5 (as you know)!  Thanks for the writeup
there Jim, I'll be keeping that with the Maxwell spec sheets I have.  Did
I get those from you, btw?

A lot more to it than voltage. Take a look at
http://home.earthlink.net/~jimlux/hv/caplife.htm for the equations.  You
also need to consider reversal and power dissipation.  Aside from
electrical and mechanical stresses (the voltage and reversal) you also
need to worry about the internal temperature.
