[SML] battery packs for practicals

[Dan Sheehan]

A while ago (pre-Covid) I had some LED strings on moving set pieces.
I used Milwaukee M12 batteries (from  a very handy smallish drill &
driver set).
Comes in 2 AH and 4 AH sizes.  Battery has female slots which accept
a standard 1/4" tab connector, making it very easy to adapt to other uses.
