LED lights

Post by noanalyst »

Just purchased a 6600mAH lithium ion polymer battery (PID 353) that I want to use to power some led lights. Do you have any LED lights like this one: https://www.adafruit.com/products/518 that can run off any a lithium ion polymer battery

That LED will work from a LiPoly battery. Use a 3.6 Ohm 1/2W resistor in series with it.

Ok. Will try that. Do you sell those resistors or should I just get them online?

Secondly, I intend to mount three or four of them. Do I need a resistor for each one?

You must connect the LEDs in parallel with each other, and you need a resistor for each one.

We don't sell those resistors. You can find them online.
