Need help converting dc led xmas lights to battery operated
A car battery would work, but a small motorcycle battery (12V) would also work and be less bulky. Either one will most likely power all the lights for the entire christmas season with no AC connection as the current drain is so small. More on forum.allaboutcircuits.com

September 1, 2021 - I know that there are a couple of "self contained" units like Lumenoodle's Light Rope (pretty good reviews) and Mpowered's Luci Light String. I don't know if they will run off of a 12v battery as you have described. Might be worth a look. I do not have any first hand experience with either.

Using existing 12 volt source to power string of christmas lights
November 24, 2008 - So we got to thinking of if there is any way possible to power a few Christmas lights with the source. I told them that with a single 12/2 feed running 250 feet, the two existing lights is about all you can expect with that kind of voltage drop. I found online many strands of mini lights for 12 volt use, one 26 feet long strand probably uses 20 to 30 watts of power.
