  3. Plug Barrel Jack cable into Portable Battery
  4. Press power button on LED Controller
  5. Change brightness to ~50% to prevent from pulling too much current.
  6. If the controller pulls too much current, then it can freeze the controller. This can be reset by unplugging and replugging the battery.
