Another in the same thread in my radio hobbyist group.  Really is buyer beware out thereNo photo description available.

When you think about it I wonder how many folks actually put a new cap on a meter before installing it, probably not too many. That's a huge difference in values, it wouldn't work as designed and too high a voltage would fry it and the outer can wouldn't show any bulges. Crazy

The caps look more like an intentional restoration unit to hide a new cap in an old style can to keep an amp or similar looking original.

Could be, but the actual cap is only 1/3 the capacity and a lower voltage rating. Total scam.

This just showed up on my FB feed, a small battery made to look like a larger one, country of manufacture ? LOL

That wire looks pretty thin too.  It may not react well to a 55amp draw from a 12v trolling motor.
