I bought a couple of 4F 5,5V supercaps. They had about 2-3V charge. I wanted to charge them with a 50mA current limited 5V regulated power supply. I was surprised to find them going immediately to 5V and have only ~20mA running through them. Is that OK?

Supercap OK?

If current is constant then the voltage increases on a straight line.
