You suspect because of a bright LED?

I don't think that indicates a bad cap. LEDs can be brighter or dimmer with slight differences in voltages.

I'd still test it all though. As I said, it's a good idea to charge them to the same voltage and let them sit a while and see if they discharge at similar rates.
