Another couple of questions.....

Since these caps are used for decoupling and one leg is always on ground, do I need to discharge them or are they automatically discharged when the power to the chassis is removed?

Is it better to test them with an ESR meter, a Capacitance meter or both? With the ESR I can leave them in circuit (no power to chassis). I figure that if I get a bad reading then I should pull it for further testing. If it test good with the ESR, then it's most likely good. Am I going wrong with any of that?
