Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light # MCL11AKB is rated at 0.047 amps at 12 volts. It is designed for a 12 volt system. A 12 volt system can actually fluctuate slightly higher and lower than 12 volts.

The LEDs will work on a lower voltage 6-volt system but they will not be as bright. A 24 volt system is not recommended for these lights.

I need a portable led marker light For my trailer. Going to use a RC 7.2 volt battery to run a 3/4 “ led light.. Do you think this application would work?

Although not designed for this use, I believe it will work. You will need to do some calculations or testing to ensure you have the number of hours the battery will last for that application. The LED lights like # MCL11AKB require only 0.03 amps at 12.8v. The similar red marker light # MCL121RK9PVG requires 0.04 amps at 12.8v. I believe the RC batteries are designed for high amperage output, so I believe it would work, but can't confirm as we haven't tested it and it isn't designed for that application.
