The higher voltage values are no problem. Do not stray to far from

the
original Mfd values. Remember you can also series for example 2

200 volt
400Mfd caps to get a 400 Volt 200 Mfd cap.


Not a good idea with electrolytics... if one goes "high leakage";
the other one gets overvolted ..

You've never "lived" until you had a 400 microfathead filtercap
blow up and unroll past your nose while doing "func test" on a board
that was mis-stuffed with a 100 WV cap that was supposed to be 450
WV.
