I am pretty sure I need to replace the C15 (12,000mf 16v) on my Flash. It doesn't have any obvious bulges but I have weird voltages and the DMM AC test shows a quick 4v which is way over the .3v most threads say is correct.

My question, since a 12,000mf 16v capacitor is pretty hard to get, I thought I could wire them in parallel to achieve the desired result.

I thought I could get a 10,000mf 16v: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-BC-Components/MAL202115103E3?qs=sGAEpiMZZMu3dWSqd4Tl0IrB%252bE%2fYPbXzX8%252bZe5Xfl4A%3d

and a 2,000mf 16v: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Cornell-Dubilier-CDE/WBR2000-16A?qs=sGAEpiMZZMu3dWSqd4Tl0C1dQxjcpck%252bK7MLQlpbxWs%3d

both are axial mounted so they will be easy to solder in parallel, that should work shouldn't it?

thanks guys! moving to 25v made it easy. There is a axial 15,000uf 25v capacitor for $7. thats what I like!
