Afraid of aging? The effects of time on electrolytic capacitors

capacitors change over time, we measured the electrical properties of an aluminum electrolytic and aluminum polymer capacitor after five years of storage. Figure 5, 6 and 7 shows the measurement results for the aluminum electrolytic capacitor and Figure 8, 9 and 10 shows the measurement result for the aluminum polymer capacitor.

Intro to Electronic Components: Capacitors | Custom

Despite many components these days being SMD (including electrolytic capacitors), through-hole aluminum electrolytic capacitors are still used. One of the reasons for this is that the physical size of a capacitor is often proportional to its capacitance and so capacitors greater than 100μF will be too large to be an SMD …

Identifying an unmarked SMD capacitor and chip

Those are plain multi-layer ceramic capacitors and are bipolar, or rather non-polarized.. The reason you are getting odd results is that you probably measure the capacitance while they are soldered into a circuit. This means that you have a number of unknown devices in parallel to the capacitor, so the result can be pretty much anything.
