Can I replace a 16v capacitor with a 25v capacitor?

Yes, no problem, the rated voltage is simply the maximum voltage you can handle with this capacitor. Make sure that the voltages you have to deal with. It never exceeds 25V if you use a rated 25v cap. Also, it never exceeds 16v for a rated 16v cap.

RELATED QUESTIONS

Can I replace a capacitor with a lower voltage?
If you charge up a capacitor with a lower rating than the power supply will give it, you risk it exploding and becoming useless. Don't expose a Capacitor to a higher voltages than it's rated for.
Can I use 25v capacitor instead of 16v?
Yes, no problem, the rated voltage is simply the maximum voltage you can handle with this capacitor. Be sure to have the voltages you need. Never exceed 25V if you use a rated 25v cap. Also never exceed 16v for a rated 16v cap.
Can you replace a capacitor with a lower voltage?
If you charge a capacitor with a voltage below the voltage the power supply will supply, you may explode the capacitor and become defective and unusable. Thus, do not expose a capacitor to a voltage above its voltage.
Can I replace a single capacitor with a dual capacitor?
The wiring of a single capacitor is easy if you simply remember that a double capacitor is two capacitors in a single package. If the compressor side capacitor in the double capacitor is good, but the fan side fails, the fan side can be replaced by one. As the compressor side plug is good, it will remain connected and works.
Can you replace capacitor with higher voltage?
In general, there is no problem with the use of higher voltage capacitors. They tend to be physically larger and if you go too high the ESR tends to be higher, but in your case it is not a problem at all. For example, the outlet plug in a voltage regulator.
