The rating is the max voltage that can safely be applied to the cap. Your cars charging system typically will run 14 to 16 volts when the alternator is charging at full capacity so you would not want a 12v cap in your system. Applying a higher voltage than rated to a cap will usually smoke it but can cause it to explode violently.
