re: longish, about batteries and LEDs 

@clarjon1 @Felthry ok yeah if i just get a bunch of rechargeable 2477s, 3d print some battery cases, and get a recharger for them, it could be a nice little test battery

i'm not sure if it's like equivalent to two AAAs in series just because they're both 3V?? but it'd be nice to have two shape options

re: longish, about batteries and LEDs 

@kat i can't see whatever clarjon said because that instance isn't on awoo's allow list

do they make rechargeable 2477s?

re: longish, about batteries and LEDs 

@kat are they 3 volt CR2477s or 1.2 volt NiMH things? the latter would be problematic

re: longish, about batteries and LEDs 

@Felthry seems to be 3V

is there more to it than totalling up the voltage to be higher than the LEDs will draw?

re: longish, about batteries and LEDs 

@kat no, just that lower voltage ones would mean you'd need more

i mean, there is a little more to it but nothing important here
