A capacitor and a method for assembling a capacitor. A capacitor is assembled from a case, which contains an anode that is electrically insulated from the case by isolators. A washer is placed above the anode. This washer transfers force from a capacitor cap to the isolators and anode, securing the anode in place. A cap is placed on the case. The cap may be shaped as a toroid with an outer and an inner annular wall. The annular walls may meet at the top and have an opening at the bottom creating a cap cavity in order to store electrolyte or other materials in the cap. The cap also supports a glass seal that insulates the lead tube and lead wire coming from the anode. Once assembled, the capacitor is filled with electrolyte. A weld extends around the cap to secure the cap to the case. The weld may be administered from the top of the capacitor.

Miniature defibrillators and cardioverters detect abnormal heart rhythms and automatically apply electrical therapy to restore normal heart function. Critical to this function, aluminum-electrolytic capacitors store and deliver life-saving bursts of electric charge to the heart. This type of capacitor requires regular “reform” to preserve its charging efficiency over time. Because reform expends valuable battery energy, manufacturers developed wet-tantalum capacitors, which are generally understood not to require reform. Yet, the present inventors discovered through extensive study that wet-tantalum capacitors exhibit progressively worse charging efficiency over time. Accordingly, to address this problem, the inventors devised unique reform techniques for wet-tantalum capacitors. One exemplary technique entails charging wet-tantalum capacitors to a voltage equal to about 90% of their rated voltage and allowing the charge to dissipate through system leakage for a period of time, before discharging through a non-therapeutic load.
