DC Volts + Inductance ?

Not really an issue is it.

Also electrolytic capacitors have a
measurable internal resistance.


Yes, to a DC voltage a Capacitor has infinite resistance because it is
open circuit!


His point, I think, is that an electrolytic capacitor does not have
infinite resistance. (actually, no capacitor has infinite
resistance....)
