Quick Reference
How Long Will My Battery Pack Last?
Runtime depends on the product and how much panel area or wire length you're powering. This table covers the most common Ellumiglow setups.
| Product | Setup Size | AA/AAA Pack (4-cell) | 2,000mAh Slim | 10,000mAh Standard | Recommended Pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EL Wire (TruEL) | Up to 15ft | 8–12 hrs | 12–18 hrs | 50+ hrs | AA/AAA or 2,000mAh |
| EL Wire (TruEL) | 15–50ft | 4–6 hrs | 6–10 hrs | 25–35 hrs | 2,000mAh or 5,000mAh |
| VynEL™ Panels | Up to 30 sq in | 6–10 hrs | 8–14 hrs | 40+ hrs | AA/AAA or 2,000mAh |
| VynEL™ Panels | 30–150 sq in | 2–4 hrs | 3–5 hrs | 12–20 hrs | 5,000mAh or 10,000mAh |
| SewGlo™ | Up to 6ft strip | — | 6–12 hrs | 30+ hrs | 2,000mAh or 5,000mAh |
Runtimes are estimates at standard brightness. Actual runtime depends on brightness setting, temperature, and battery condition. For a precise calculation, use the Ellumiglow Power Calculator →

Don't Need Batteries?
Here's What to Use Instead.
Battery packs are for portable and wearable use. If your project lives in one place — retail, hospitality, stage, architectural — a wall-powered inverter paired with a driver is the right answer. No charging, no downtime, runs 24/7.
EL Wire / TruEL™ — Mondo Inverter (12V AC) — plug-in power for runs up to 50ft of TruEL™ or 100ft of standard EL Wire. Most common choice for retail and event installs.
TruEL™ long runs — 24V Commercial Inverter — single driver handles up to 325ft of TruEL™ Wire from one connection. No mid-run injection, no brightness drop.
VynEL™ large panels — 24V DC VynEL™ Inverter — powers up to 300 sq in of VynEL™ panels from a single driver. Dimmer compatible.
DMX control — Commercial Series DMX EL Inverters integrate TruEL™ Wire into standard DMX lighting control systems for show-programming applications.

| Battery Type | Wire (Standard EL) | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| 2× AAA (1.5V each) | 1–3 ft | 4–6 hrs |
| 2× AA (1.5V each) | 3–10 ft | 3–5 hrs |

Common Power Mistakes
What goes wrong — and how to avoid it
| Mistake | Effect | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Under-powering | Wire is dim or uneven | Use the next size up inverter |
| Standard inverter on TruEL™ | Very dim or no glow | Use TruEL™-rated inverter |
| Mixing wire types on one inverter | Uneven brightness | Separate inverters per type |
| Too many wires on one output | Inverter overheats | Use parallel/multi-output inverter |
| 12V car power directly | Immediate burn-out | Use 12V EL inverter in between |
