Trying to find a replacement for a 1F/2.5V supercap.

I can find local replacements rated 1F/5V but the ESR is ~30 ohms instead of
0.4.

I presume that supercaps aren't applied to filter applications -- their
specialty being an alternative to batteries to power memory or such -- so
ripple current shouldn't be an issue.

My question: what's the impact of replacing a supercap with one with a higher
ESR?

Thanks,
Dave
