Battery question
Hello! I'm new to working with blinkytape and I have a battery question. I'm looking to make a costume piece and want a battery with the slimmest profile. I found something that might work, its 3,000 mah. Would that work? What is the recommended battery power for the tape, matrix, and pixels?
This is the pack I'm talking about:

Do you have a link for the battery?
USB phone chargers are what we recommend as the simplest and safest way to power these blinkies, something like this pack:

Battery life depends on the pattern and brightness level- for simple patterns played at a medium brightness, I usually get 6+ hours out of a 4400mAH pack. With full white/full brightness, the battery life can be way shorter, in the range of 30-60 minutes.
I found something smaller and updated my question. The one you posted would probably work great. This was the original one thati found: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQ6Q0GO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZF7AybDC1BSYY
Great- any of those should be fine.
