If they are not hooked up to a power source, they will lose charge over time. Wire a test light in series with the cap. When the light goes out, its charged.

I've got a 1.5f cap on my system. As long as it's connected in relay with your e.q. then it is charging. Over time they wear out just like any battery would, but for the normal duration of it's life you should be fine.
