No. That's an audio player.

Friend, I want to call between 1300-2500 (not decided yet exactly how I will use) Leds -> NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip 144 LEDS 1m . 'll Call them continuously connected to one another in a 12v battery 9800mAh. As the whole circuit and thousands of LEDs estaram working on a 12v rechargeable battery 9800mAh, voltage drop not happened? Ira work well?

Thank you so much !! :)

Code: Select all

1300-2500 (not decided yet exactly how I will use) Leds -> NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip 144 LEDS 1m . 'll Call them continuously connected to one another in a 12v battery 9800mAh.
1) You can't run Neopixels on 12v. They are 5v devices.
2) With 2500 pixels, a 9800mAh battery will last about 4 minutes (if it doesn't burn up first).

2500 pixels will require as much as 150 amps of power at 5v. That is a lot of power and can be quite dangerous if not managed properly. We recommend that you find a qualified electrical engineer to help you design this system.

2) With 2500 pixels, a 9800mAh battery will last about 4 minutes. But at that discharge rate, it is likely to burn up first.

Friend I know he only uses 5v, I would use a resistor to handle the load. How many amps consumes 1 led? how many amps use 1 meter?
as does the calculation to know how long she will remain lit

You cannot use a resistor for this because the current requirements are variable. You need a power source that is no more than 5v If you are using batteries, a 4-cell NiMH pack will give you 4.8v which is close enough. In any case DO NOT POWER WITH MORE THAN 5V!.
How many amps consumes 1 led? how many amps use 1 meter?
Each pixel consists of 3 LEDs. Each LED can consume as much as 20mA at full brightness. So each pixel needs 60mA.
1 meter of 144 pixels needs 144 * 60 = 8640 mA (8.64A)

Which one rechargeable battery specifications you indicate to me 1metro of 144 LEDs last for 1 hour 30 minutes?

You'll need about a 5V 20Ah battery for that. We don't have such a thing in the store.

What do you think I use 2 batteries (http://www.miniinthebox.com/pt/icr-1865 ... 28011.html) at 1 meter 144 leds? will last for how long?

There is not set value for how long they will last. You will have to experiment on your own to find out.

5000 mAh means 5000 mA (5A) for one hour. With the whole strip at 100% brightness (8640 mA) you will get about 34 minutes. If your average brightness is about 35%, you can run for about 1.5 hours.
