you can use both off one battery just hook your clips to the battery post. you can use as many as your battery will power
I'm in the process of building a couple underwater crappie lights with LED light strips. Am I able to connect both of them to a single 12v battery. If so, anything special I need to do, or could I put a set of alligator clips onto the battery and then a second set of clips for the second light clipped onto those....
Thanks in advance

Clips are fine.
If you wanted to have a little more protection against casusing a short, you could use and inline connector and permanently wire one end of it to the battery or a fuse box.

Looking for the one that makes it all worthwhile.
If it's a marine battery, it has a large post and a threaded post ... so you could connect one light's leads to the large posts with clips & the other light's leads to the threaded posts.
While the LED lights probably don't draw much amperage, I still don't like the idea of one set of clips attached to another set of clips. And to avoid any possibility of sparks (around the gas tank or batteries) I attach the Positive leads first & then the Negative leads.
I used cigarette lighter plugs on my lights, then put a 4 place cigarette lighter outlet on the battery and wired it in

Amazon has some really great water proof outlets for the marine uses. I put four up in the front of my boat fused off a fuse box. They are a bit more expensive than Walmart but the quality is very good. As one of them is a USB Outlet to charge my phone and T/M remote.
