Inserting A Power Level Indicator Into My Design

Also I'm not having a recharge port, so between battery and sound board if I have enough wire

Ok, this may be a dumb question, but I've never seen this in practice, are the PLIs functional or are they just for show with all the lights on.

So yes if I cut that lead?

They're always functional. That's why they have a huge chip on the back. You cut the lead to change the "mode".

From the store page:

There are 10 LED's (5 green, 2 yellow, 3 red) which light up depending on battery voltage.
For 3.7V li-ion battery cell the LED's will all be off at 2.4V and all on at 3.7v
For 7.4V li-ion battery pack the LED's will all be off at 4.7V and all on at 7.3v

The PLI is setup for a single 3.7v Li-ion cell with all active LED's lit by default.
It can be used with a 7.4v Li-ion pack by bridging the two small solder pads on the backside as shown.
It can be setup to only show one LED at a time by cutting the chip lead as shown.

It's a fully functional PLI. You can have a bar that fills up, or have a single LED showing the charge level.
