Can I safely connect two Super capacitors in Series ?
My super capacitor rating is 10F 2.5V and I cannot connect it across 5V. So, can I connect two super capacitors in series and connect them across 5V from 7805 ? This way capacitance will reduce to 5F and voltage will increase to 5V as they are in series. Will this harm the capacitors I mean the Super capacitors ? I am using Super Capacitor for embedded application so that it does some task on power failure. When mains failure is detected it has to do a small task before shutting down and hence I want to use Super capacitors.
