There are several ways you can do that. What kind of battery did you have in mind, and how long do you want to run them for?how do i make this battery operated and outdoors? There are 24 lights with 2leds per bubble, it also changes colour and patterns automatic.
id like to run them at least 6 hours. Its soddered to the plug connector wires that then is plugged n screwed onto the 2 prong plug box with prongs. Did that help?There are several ways you can do that. What kind of battery did you have in mind, and how long do you want to run them for?
The simplest way would be to use a 12 volt battery and a car 12V DC to 120V AC converter with the power supply for the lights plugged into it. Any other approach would involve taking the wires off the supply and rewiring them directly to a 12 volt battery. Does the light strip plug into the supply or is it permanently connected?

From the end of LED 2wires are sodder on that has a 2 prong male connector that plugs into the 2prong plug box.Is the light sequencing controlled by the light string itself (probably) or by the adapter (less probably)? It looks as though the cable unscrews/unplugs from the power adapter. If so, the number of connection pins/sockets in the plug would give a clue.
If the lights need 0.5A, as implied by the rating on the adapter, then you will need quite a chunky battery to keep the lights on for hours at a time.
In that case all the sequencing is being done by a controller in the light string, so all you need to run the lights is a 12V battery. BUT ..... 12V is just the nominal voltage of a battery. A car/motorcycle battery when fully charged will have a higher voltage, ~13.8V. Hopefully that won't over-drive the lights. To be on the safe side you could drop the voltage down a bit with 2 or 3 series diodes.From the end of LED 2wires are sodder on that has a 2 prong male connector that plugs into the 2prong plug box.
