Yep, looking for something like that. Was hoping for something a little cheaper. But that will do for convenience and ease.
You ought to be able to source something in a deep cycle rechargeable battery from a power-chair supplier.
Uninterruptible Power Supply, Like for a computer those sealed lead acid are ubiquitous now days.
Oh, Those, Yeah, easy set up. I mean typically they have a modular power input with a positive tip, you can pick those up at Radio shack or Order them from digikey. then there is a green plug with screw lugs on the other side for running out to the strip. The inputs on the end of the strip should be labelled. +,R,G,B some are -,R,G,B match the symbols on the controller Or is there another issue I'm not picking up on?
Transformers don't normally operate from DC sources. Transformers are AC devices dependent upon the rising and collapsing magnetic fields to generate an output in their secondaries. Granted, old-style automotive ignition coils operated on DC but they didn't produce a continuous output, merely a tiny pulse when their fields built up and a very much higher voltage spiked output when their fields collapsed as they collapsed much faster than they built up.
Thanks for that, I may have just used the wrong term, but I've always called something designed to change current and/or change voltage a transformer. I guess if you look up "voltage step-up module" you might find what I was talking about.
