Rev 5.0 Board and it's caps???

I've read all the posts on the subject of the caps on these boards but there are still a couple grey areas.

On a controller board for a Bit, revision 5.0(pictured below)

1)Which cap should be replaced to get a 90 min charge??? I have circled the two on this particular board and the bottom one already happens to be a 16v/47uf/105c. (obviously I know this is not the one to remove and replace with another identical cap ) The other just says 50v/1uf. The info on QFMs site doesn't give specs on these newer boards. Can a rev 5 board be modded in the same way by removing the top cap???
So... has anyone done this mod on a Rev 5.0 board and know if the top cap is in fact the one to remove and replace with a 16v/47uf/105c to get a 90 min charge???

2)The cap on the left... C11... the only suspect cap on this board front or back. Is this really, actually, for a fact a cripple cap??? I read one post where a guy said taking it out worked for him but was that a legit post??? Is he the only one who tried it and had it work without goofing the board it up???


I'm sure there are many rev 5 board owners who are looking for this same info... any help is appreciated.
