Look down the page to my posting of May 14, 2013.  It has a list of 
values and part numbers for VERY LOW ESR electrolytic replacement 
caps that have a higher Temperate Tolerance than the originals, and a 
couple of value changes for lower 'ripple' out of the  20V voltage 
doubler chip circuit,(helps with the display flickering while warming 
up) and better +5v working voltage for safety.

I also outline 2 tips for easy removing and replacing the caps, 
including a simple trick to clean out the PC holes for inserting the 
new caps.    I have done this on 3 565's without problems.

FWIW The battery can also be obtained from Mouser, and also a higher 
capacity (longer lasting) pin-compatible version as well.
