Abstract

An apparatus and related methods for reforming a capacitor. One method includes charging the capacitor to a first voltage value, allowing the capacitor to self discharge, measuring a time it takes for the capacitor to self discharge to a second voltage value, and determining whether to reform the capacitor depending upon the measured self-discharge time.
