Capacitor charging/discharging formula says:

•A 100uF (one hundred microfarads) capacitor charging at 4uA (four microamperes) constant current for 5min (five minutes) will charge from 12V (twelve volts) to 24V (twenty-four volts).
•If a capacitor charged from 12V (twelve volts) to 24V (twenty-four volts) in 5min (five minutes) at 4uA (four microamperes), its capacitance is 100uF (one hundred microfarads).
•When a 100uF (one hundred microfarads) capacitor charges from 12V (twelve volts) to 24V (twenty-four volts) in 5min (five minutes), it means that the charging current is 4uA (four microamperes).
•A 100uF (one hundred microfarads) capacitor will take 5min (five minutes) to charge from 12V (twelve volts) to 24V (twenty-four volts) at 4uA (four microamperes) constant current.
