So an electron in the conductor between the battery and the capacitor is repelled from both sides with the same force and therefore does not move. If the voltage of the capacitor would be higher than that of the battery, the electrons would move back into the battery. So the voltage of the capacitor can''t be higher than the voltage of the battery.

Learn MoreWell...only until their potentials meet in the middle. Crazy Buddy's answer and related comments have made the point that you could indeed use a capacitor to charge a battery, but the amount of energy stored in capacitors is generally less than in batteries so it wouldn't charge the battery very much.
Ps: the idea is to make fast charging work by using capacitors to hold temporary charge and use it to charge the battery. So battery can be connected in series with capacitors to achieve this? no, because to harvest the energy in the cap you have to lower the voltage below what the battery needs to charge.
Since all are in parallel, they charge soon, since being capacitors, can charge faster too. All these capacitors can be connected to a battery in series, so one capacitor when gets depleted, the charge flows from the next capacitor, the capacitor nearest to the battery is fully charged and keeps charging the battery slowly. Will this work??
In my understanding, theoretically, when an uncharged capacitor is connected directly to a battery of, let's say, 9 volts, instantly the capacitor will be charged and its voltage will also become 9V. This will happen because there is no resistance between the capacitor and the battery, so the variation of current by time will be infinite.
The voltage is V = Q/C V = Q / C which is 10,000 volts or so again. Even if you could charge it this much, it would be pretty bad to connect it to a 1.5-volt battery. To summarize, the charging is only good if the voltage is close to 1.5 volts but capacitors have vastly variable voltage that depends on the stored energy and/or charge dramatically.
Answer: Capacitor can be temporary batteries. Capacitors in parallel can continue to supply current to the circuit if the battery runs out. This is interesting because the capacitor gets its charge from being connected to a chemical battery, but the capacitor itself supplies voltage without chemicals.
