Gave us:
Odds are they are just surplus.
More likely, they are change outs. Maxwell caps are only rated for
a specific number of charge/discharge cycles. After that, expensive,
tightly controlled lab environments want new caps so they know exactly
how much energy they are working with on each stroke of the bank.
