[SOLVED] connect something with battery with motherboard

Solution
USB operates at 5V, so that means a maximum of 2.5 watts. USB 2.0 has the same power limit. But later there were add-ons to the spec for battery charging, allowing up to 1.5A (7.5W) while data transfer is going on, and up to 5A if not. Few USB 2.0 devices can deliver that much power.
USB 3.0, can provide up to 900mA or 0.9A, which translates into 4.5 watts. These power output specifications are a rating based on the 5 volts from each standard output
So your device shouldn't exceed those limits depending on your MB and it's USB ports.
It could be solved by using self powered USB hub as they mostly provide more power.
No, you do not want to connect a USB power bank (host port) to another USB host port (on the motherboard) it will most likely damage the motherboard. Only connect host port to client ports, e.g. the light. Best bet just use the AC power adapter to the light, save the power bank for portable use!

Very cool light BTW have not seen those before...
