| I am building a kit and have 2 electrolytic capacitors to mount. I need to know which lead is + . The two leads come out the same end with one lead being shorter than the other. Also there is a gray band that runs the length of the capacitor and ends at the short lead. The capacitors are black in color. There are no + or - markings on the capacitors. PLEASE HELP Bill |

| The "line" is negative, which should also be the shorter lead. |

| True, the line (whatever color it is) is the negative. Could be dark blue line on light blue background as well. |
