Hi /g/,
We have 11 LEDs lights that use 2xCR2032 batteries. But the batteries only last a day or two.
Is there a way I can just link them all together and plug them into the mains?

The ones I have are not strips, but individual battery powered single lights, like in the picture here.
They each use 2x 3v batteries?

As the OP, that is the most positive thing I've seen on 4chan. Thank you.

Chances are your batteries, which each produce about 3V nominal, are wired in series. This would put your final supply voltage at roughly 6V.
You could almost certainly hack apart a phone charger (they typically produce around 5V) and simply us it in place of the batteries.

It should work by just connecting a 5V power source (just like a phone charger) to that RGB LED...

E.g. this supply:

With this adapter so that not to cut cable:

Then get some wires and solder it. But you might find some ready-made solutions on that site for whatever you want.

Get a ballast.

Do you have a diode or 4?
