Hi Conrad,
   Maxwell manufactures both pulse discharge (Laser caps) and continuous
rated filter capacitors.  The type is usually marked on the label unless
the part was made special for a customer,

   Laser caps can be safely operated at 2/3 of their marked voltage in
filter applications.  So, in either case, you should be within the
ratings in your application.
