    Which battery should I choose?

    Hey guys, I need a rechargeable battery that can be boost converted (DC-DC step up) to ~15V, and ~1A. The battery should be able to charge via the 5V, 100mA from USB. I will be using the result from the boost converter to power up three bulbs, each of which take approximately 14V and 0.230A...
