Hello-
I'm a total electronics noob hoping for a little direction. I'm interested in lighting up 2.5 or 3 feet of el tape, and I'd like to incorporate a very compact, USB rechargeable power source. I'm wondering if your PowerBoost 500 Charger - Rechargeable 5V Lipo USB Boost @ 500mA+ PRODUCT ID: 1944 in combination with a USB 5V DC to AC inverter (See link below) would do the trick? Or do you have other suggestions/products that would help me achieve this goal?

Thank you for your help!

Great! I'll order one.
I guess I'll also need a USB type-A jack to solder onto the board as per the photo, correct?

The USB jack comes with the PowerBoost. All you need to do is solder it in.
