_Oh noes!_&nbsp;An 11th-hour invite to a Halloween function and _you don’t have a costume ready!_&nbsp;Or maybe you want something _discreet_ but _fun_ when the work dress code _doesn’t permit a full werewolf getup._

**_HalloWing_ to the rescue!&nbsp;** Our spooky little development board, plus a few extra tidbits from [Adabox 009](https://learn.adafruit.com/adabox009) (or your parts collection) can quickly make an eye-catching accessory that no good host would turn you away for being under-dressed.

[3 x AA Battery Holder with On/Off Switch, JST, and Belt Clip](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3287)
This battery holder connects 3 AA batteries together in series for powering all kinds of projects. We spec'd these out because the box is compact, and 3 AA's add up to about 3.3-4.5V, a very similar range to Lithium Ion/polymer (Li-Ion) batteries, plus it has&nbsp;a nifty&nbsp;on-off...

### Lithium Ion Polymer Battery Ideal For Feathers - 3.7V 400mAh

[Lithium Ion Polymer Battery Ideal For Feathers - 3.7V 400mAh](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3898)

HalloWing can run directly from a small **lithium-polymer battery** (such as the one included in [Adabox 009](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3956)) for **an hour or two** , depending on what it’s doing. If you want it to run for hours on end…all day or all night…it’s real easy.

Simply use a pocket-sized&nbsp;[**USB battery bank**](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1959) (the sort you might _already have_ for topping off your cell phone) and a USB A-to-microB cable. This is especially helpful for **NeoPixel** projects.
