could i power them with a 6v battery ?

I doubt it, they call for 12v. I have them wired up on motorcycle battery and the run great for me.

Probably not - light would be dim. You could however buy some of the decorative glow in the dark light-wires. they are about 2$ and come with a 3xAA battary case that outputs 12V. an idea maybe?

They do not have a 12v plug. They have about 18" of wire for you to connect to your own wiring

Yes. They run from 12v dc so a battery would work fine. Run-time will be determined by your battery size/capacity... you would need a battery of sufficient size if you plan to run these very long or if you want to run multiple strips (think motorcycle or car battery).

Probably not, your going to need a amp otherwise they end up fairly underpowered

most light kits use power from two batt isolated from the 6 if its a 6 volt. the radio will be fine plus some led lighting .

You need to be able to plug them into a wall socket of some sort. They are electrical.

You should be able to use batteries since these only work with dc voltage which is the type of current batteries have. You will need a lot of double AAs since you need 36 watts and that would probably not last long anyway. If you need to use batteries, your best bet would be a car battery, it is 12 Volts and will last you much much longer and you can recharge it.

Yes you can wire them to any 12v Source.... I put mine on a switch to turn on because the blue led is as bright as a cop car

literally, yes. But if you have rechargeable batteries, why not give them a try. If they're 1.5V, they ought to work.

Yes - listed as 12 V & they will also work in automobiles.I would find a bigger Wattage if you're looking for something bright.

They require DC voltage. They are rated for 12V. They come pre-wired for connection to an AC/DC converter. I wired them to a 9V battery and they work fine.

Yes, they need power to work, but they are dc voltage so you could rig up a power supply on the board

I highly doubt that they would. Lights like these often draw quite a bit of power. The power supplied that are usually needed are the same used by computer monitors. I believe a 6 amp rating is the minimum. So unless you are talking about a non-standard 9v battery, you would likely run into issues.

that is correct. if you connect them incorrectly nothing will happen. the voltage output will be one or two volts. if you connect them correctly you should get 18 volts. good luck.

I have them running off a 12 VDC battery in a vehicle, which is around 13.8 volts DC. If you use a 12 volt DC power supply it will work. MAke sure the output current of the power supply is sufficient to power to lights. IN other words, do not use a very small plug-in 12VDC power supply. Use one that is at least the size of a normal men's wallet. If you use too small of a power supply it could overheat the power supply. THese lights work fantastic. Theyve been on my vehicle for over a year now and continue to work flawlessly.

These are for 12volt. Might be able get 6v LEDs but not sure. Hope this helps.

No. You would need a received or amp to power them. You can get a cheap one for about 40$.
