Not Ranked
I use Patrick's "feels right Method" realizing that if the tab is too low you
get arcing which kills the center electrode in the cap fairly quickly. If you
bend the tab up too much you put undo pressure on the electrode which is
also not good. I just bend it up enough to "feel a bit of a spring" when I put
the cap back on. Works for me. Next time I'll use the yellow card gauge
and see if that extends the cap life any.
