You're right. Oops, I was thinking parallel, not series.

Parallel you double up on the capacity, but the voltage stays the same. I can't remember the physics about why you can connect caps in series to double the voltage rating, but I'm glad that you can, and it works, and have taken advantage of this principle many times. I'm sure that Mike can explain the why, but then again I could just look it up.
Regards
Arran
