    Abstract: A capacitor is described. A casing for the capacitor has a surrounding sidewall extending to opposed first and second open ends. An inwardly extending ledge of the sidewall is intermediate the first and second open ends. A partition plate is supported on the ledge. A first lid is secured to the first annular edge to close the first capacitor compartment bounded by the partition plate, the surrounding sidewall and the first lid, and a second lid is secured to the second annular edge to close the second capacitor compartment bounded by the opposite side of the partition plate, the surrounding sidewall and the second lid. At least one anode resides in each of the first and second capacitor compartments spaced from cathode active material supported on the casing walls facing the anodes. There is also a separator intermediate the anode and cathode. Insulative seals supported by the casing electrically isolate anode leads connected to the respective anodes from the casing serving as a terminal for the cathode. Finally, a working electrolyte is provided in the first and second capacitor compartments in contact with the anodes and cathode active material.
