I don't know that it's fair to call them a battery. A battery has
a nonlinear current/voltage relationship as energy is stored in the
chemistry. An ultracap is still just a capacitor, albeit a very large
one. Charge goes in, voltage goes up as per I=C dv/dt.
Relative to energy storage capacity..... yes, they are probably
closer to a battery than a "normal" capacitor.
