I think that what Grayson is saying is to choose capacitors that are rated for slightly more voltage than you will need. I agree, running things at their max tolerance is not advisable for this (only for computer hardware ).
lol, we need some standards not involving symbols liek µ then it seems. so how would I symbolize megafarad(Although that is pretty unrealistic, but 1 farad capacitors were unrealistic until recently)
