I get 10-14 days on System 6 with a 1.5F cap.
I found you needed 4F on a system 11 to get similar results.
I even have a 4F in a WPC era game (I500 and T2). Settings and scores are saved for over 2 weeks but the clock runs slow. WPC draws much more "off" current due to the ASIC keeping the time.
Some people suggested using a resistor to limit the current when charging a totally dead cap this large. On most of my games, I just jumpered the blocking diode with wire, I have not experienced any negative effects. On my I500 I jumpered the diode with a 270 ohm resistor, it seems to work just fine. I have my machines on for a couple hours per week (at least) so this solution works great for me.
I made some rough current draw measurements on WPC-S in the thread linked above. Also posted some low voltages I tested where the RAM still held.
