gEDA-user: electrolytic capacitors

[gene <carzrgr8@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What does it mean when manufactures specify 'Endurance @ temp' or 'life 
time @ temp'?  For example, one company claims:
Endurance : 105 C 1000 h to 5000h
Then they further state that after testing at 105C with maximum ripple 
current applied, that when the part is cooled to 20C, it will then meet 
original specs.

Do that mean, that whatever degradation occurs at elevated temperature 
and ripple current, that they go back to normal once cooled?  I'm just 
looking for validation that my understanding is correct.

thanks,

gene
