Can someone help here in Charging my cap.(CAP500-D)DB Link
How to do this.
Use the supplied charging bulb to charge the capacitor by connecting the charging bulb in series between the + terminal of battery and the + terminal of the cap. The polarity must be maintained during this process, which will only require seconds. Once voltage of cap matches voltage of battery, the charging process is over.
And how can you tell if the voltages are the same.
Thanks
Doesn't the cap have a digital read out or display? it should be around 12.6 volts or whatever the standing voltage is on the battery. (you will need a meter to measure this)
If you asking about how to physically do this, you take your positive lead from the battery and touch to one side of the test light lead, the remaining lead from the test light will go the positive side of the cap. Leave this on there until the bulb is bright and stays that way for a while. Make sure you have a solid ground.
Good luck

If it's just a bulb, then it'll start out bright and slowly dim. When the bulb goes out completely, it's charged.

The bulb should start out bright and dim as the potential difference across it goes to zero. Once the voltage across it is zero you know that the cap and battery have the same voltage.
Yes you are both right, my mistake
