How many LEDs can you run off USB?
If you connect a ~100 ohm resistor in series with each LED, you may be able to run about five LED/resistor sets connected in parallel from a USB port. Without negotiation, a USB port is only guaranteed to supply up to 100 mA (although many USB ports have no current control, and may supply 500 mA or more).
How do you make Christmas lights work off a battery?

How many AA batteries are in a string of lights?
The lights are connected in parallel (not in series). The string works with 3 AA batteries (that is, 4.5 VDC). And all that stands between the power source and the lights is one 200 Ohm resistor (this is a photo of the resistor, in case I read it incorrectly):
What kind of power supply do I need for LEDs?
The 9V battery served as my 9V power supply, one AA battery made a 1.5V power supply and three AA batteries bundled together made a 4.5V (1.5V + 1.5V + 1.5V = 4.5V) power supply. I didn’t use alligator clips on the ends of the wire, but they would have been helpful here.
