Hey guys, just to make sure - this is an electrolytic cap and the little dash symbol there is the negative lead side?

Looks like it's a low ESR electrolytic cap, so the mark is for the negative side.

What are you attempting to use these for?
C459 on Sanyo 20-z2aw chassis. Manual calls for 16v. I do have a kit from arcadepartsandrepair with superior caps though available. I just want to use up some old inventory I have.

Use the new one. Throw away the old, questionable one.
