They are plenty sufficient to power LEDs, especially because I provide them with less than 0.5 mA. Thus the battery should last testing cables for years, unless you leave them plugged in. - to keep the board small, I decided to put the battery holder on the back of the board. This requires you to solder it last, else it would cover the hole for the USB-A receptacle.
