LED lights run on a 12V-volt battery?

12V LEDs can be directly connected to 12V battery. If in doubt add a resistance in series to reduce brightness and current flow.
 
If your battery either supplies 12V or 24V for the system, you will find LED lights for yourself. Since 12V systems are more frequently used, we will take this one and examine it closer as an example. Although leisure batteries ideally supply 12V, their output is not constant voltage, but ranges usually between 11-14.6V. Voltage usually drops close to 11V whenever the battery is running low, while obviously while being charged they can rise up to 14.2V, since most of their chargers or alternators charging them cut out at or near 14.2V.
This voltage range requires a special quality from lights, since theoretically LEDs require stabilized power. Most 12V LED lights therefore have a so-called voltage tolerance to be able to take all voltage inputs and emit an even light. Voltage tolerance is especially important at the higher range, where unsuitable products might burn from too high voltage. Therefore it is important to check the details of the products you are about to buy, and prepare the system if the charging of your battery is not regulated.
