The easiest way is to connect it directly to the battery. Make sure the polarity matches up. (-ve to -ve, and +ve to +ve). Because it is 1F, it will take some time to charge. (probably a minute or two.)
In that way, the capacitor will charge to whatever the voltage of the battery. But won't be fully charged,

Jordanbefore you try to hook up to battery it must be charged.if not could cause serious damage or even blow up your battery. the easiest way to do it have it installed where you want it in the vehical ground it in a good place.run positive wire to battery but do not touch.now find any 12 volt light bulb with socket strip wires for the socket touch wire from one end of socket too positive wire of capacitor and touch other wire from socket to positive battery terminal.bulb will light and stay on for few seconds then slowly go out.now capacitor is charged.hook up to positive batt terminal as soon as charged.and do not be affraid to do this you will not get shocked.

What is the basic unit of a capacitor?
micro farad
Can an 2 farad capacitor still be used if the terminals were crossed at connection?
I Rather not think that you can buy 2 farad capacitor and no the terminals must follow polarity guidelines.
If picofarad capacitor is replaced with microfarad capacitor then what will happend?
The unit of capacitor is farad. 1 farad =10 to the power of 6 microfarad and also = 10 to the power of 12 picofarad Therfore if you are replacing one picofarad capcitor into one microfarad capacitor you are increasing the capcitance to 1000000 times. If it is in an oscillator circuit you are changing the frequency drastically which will be of no use.
What is fifty microfarads?
Fifty millionths of a farad, abbreviated as 50 uF. Farad is the unit of capacitance. 50 microamps DC flowing for 1 second will charge a 50 uF capacitor to 1 volt.
Can you use a farad capacitor as a battery capacitor?
No. The large farad capacitors are not designed to pass a lot of current. They are intended for ultra-low current applications such as memory retention in a CMOS type device.
