Rob Lutz yea i guess I kind of blocked it off in the video, but the receiver does operate off of 9V-12V..even when the original assembly was in place it operates off of 12V..the rectifier (the piece I cut off) converts the wall outlets 120V AC to 12V DC..hope this answered your question
It might burn your LEDs out, but you could still test it out..you could always make a voltage divider which will lower your voltage to 5V..I’ll make a video showing how to do it
damnn, the exact video i wass looking for!! thanks man, btw how long do you think it will be the autonomy of the battery itself running that led strip. thankss again
A car battery is meant to provide a high burst of current to start a car. Batteries meant to light bulbs are called deep cell batteries (similar to car batteries they are just designed to provide an even flow of current). Using a car battery would be IMMENSELY expensive as your would corrode the plates very quickly. The battery's life cycle would be incredibly short. Buy the correct battery for the correct job.
Jarvonnn But Better It depends on the type of LED strip you are using and what it’s rated for. For this one, the closer you are to 12V the brighter the strip will be..also, they sell 12V battery clips on amazon
I bought a LED flex strip from Bass Pro, but I have to buy the battery separately cause they didn’t have a 12V in stock. Hopefully I can use this for reference although I imagine it’ll be a little different lol. Thank you anyway!
Yes you can wire a switch to it instead..would be easy if you use a push button switch, just wire the battery like in the video, then make another cut on the wire and wire the push button (red to positive, black to negative)
Depending on how many amps you are running through a wire defines the type of wire you need. If your wire is too thin, you would burn them out. LED strip lights run at very small amps. When you connect batteries in series you add up their volts (so adding two 9 volts batteries in series would be 18 volts). When you add up batteries in parallel, you add up their amps. You need higher volts for certain products, you need higher amps for certain draws (like an incandescent light). The multiplication of the 2 (Volts x amps) tells you the power the item uses (watts) and how long it will last on battery.
Jack Hayes it depends on the LED strip voltage rating not on the plugs voltage..the rectifier that I cut off in the video converts 120V ac to 12V dc..if the LED strip is rated for 9V-12V then yes it will work
12V battery is good if you have 12V LED strip (like in the video). How long it last depends on the power your LEDs use and the mAh of your battery. So most batteries will last between 1 and 6 hours (closer to the 1 hour range)

How long will these last for. URGENT QUESTION
But my leds have 2 of those wire connector things I know one of them goes in the power supply but where does the other one go?
I think the other connector you are talking about is the receiver..leave that connected to the LED strip
if my LED strip runs off 5 volts can I hook it up to a 9 volt. I'm not sure if the strip will have built in resistors or not
It might burn your LEDs out, but you could still test it out..you could always make a voltage divider which will lower your voltage to 5V..I’ll make a video showing how to do it
Hmm im curious if im able to power it with AA battery packs? Or should I use something bigger
Blindhitman 420 well for this LED strip it’s rated for 12V..2 AA batteries is only 3V so you will need 8 AA batteries

How to buy this led strip light
I lost the remote is there any way to connect the led light to a knob? To turn on and off.
Yes you can wire a switch to it instead..would be easy if you use a push button switch, just wire the battery like in the video, then make another cut on the wire and wire the push button (red to positive, black to negative)
is there a special type of wire but you have to use?

The multiplication of the 2 (Volts x amps) tells you the power the item uses (watts) and how long it will last on battery.
And I suppose if you want to add a switch and eliminate the remote control you cut the wires closer to the strips. Am I right?
Just put the switch in series between the led strip and the battery and it should work
