I guess you could charge it off a battery, but to prevent draining the battery (unless the car is running) I would use a 12V power supply, such as a trickle charger. Just hook the + on the capacitor up to the + on the battery, - to -, and put the light bulb in there somewhere, in series with the capacitor...it really doesn't matter where though. So a wire goes from the battery to the light, another from the light to the capacitor, and another from the capacitor back to the battery. And once you get it charged up, make sure not to short it out...you'll get lots of fireworks.

just hook it up it will only spark a bit no harm done
keep in mind the last thing you hook uo will pit from the spark so use a cheap wire on a part that wont matter
