German term or phrase: zu Ende auf deren Kapazität
Still flogging myself with specs for testing radiator fans. I don't get exactly what "zu Ende" refers to here. This is an assessment criterion for a thermal shock endurance test.

Elektrolytkondensatoren werden *zu Ende auf deren Kapazität* geprüft.

English translation:Their capacitance is measured after the endurance test.
Explanation:
How I would understand this.

You run the endurance test, and THEN you measure whether the capacitors have lost any capacitance.

My thought from the USA.
