6 mf capacitors compared to 5 mf

[ka3ebe]

This maybe the wrong place for this question but I am sure some one here can help me I have a bad 6 mf 660 A/C 50-60 hz. I have a good 5 mf 660 A/C 50-60 hz what would be the effect of using the 5mf in place of the 6mf capacitor
This is a rather large capacitor type found on a motor or in a power supply. probably 3 inch high by 1.25 inch round.

Is it 5mF or 5uF? It should be uF (micro farads). What is that capacitor used for? In what device? Is it a cage motor starter capacitor? If so, it will affect the motors starting torque a bit. But you shuld be able to use it with no other issues.

it is used in a 48 volt battery Charger for a golf cart.
thanks for your reply
