A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a capacitor element that contains a sintered porous anode body formed from a valve metal powder having a specific charge of about 50,000 μF*V/g or more, a dielectric that overlies the anode body, and a solid electrolyte that overlies the dielectric that includes a conductive polymer is provided. The capacitor exhibits a normalized aged leakage current of about 8% or less and an anomalous charging current of about 1 amp or less.
