1. An electrolytic capacitor comprising:
- a housing;
a plurality of charge storing layers within the housing;
each layer including at least a conductive anode layer, and a conductive cathode layer, the anode and cathode layers being electrically separate from each other and overlaying each other;
a first anode of a first one of the charge storing layers being connected to a first electrical feed through on the housing; and
a second anode of a different one of the charge storing layers being connected to a second electrical feed through on the housing electrically separate from the first feed through.

Abstract
An electrolytic capacitor having several cathode layers and several anode layers stacked in a single housing. At least some of the anode layers are electrically interconnected in a group electrically isolated from another group of electrically interconnected anodes. Separate electrical connections permit the separate groups to be independently connected to external circuitry.
