I remember seeing a vid of this technology on youtube. I mod a lot of things with leds and I always thought about clothing. Now I’m wondering how you wash them and what the power source is like. Surely any type of lithium coin cell which would fit comfortably on the clothing wouldn’t have any decent run time. I believe the capacity of those coin cells is like 75mAH. Maybe they use a battery pack.

Yes I believe so… take a look at this link:

And look at the second movie (bottom one). Close to the end of the movie, they are showing the battery. Fairly large, but who knows… maybe they will change that too in the future.
