First, I want to state that I'm not an electrician and that I don't know much about electricity.
I recently bought these battery operated led lights:

I want to cut the strand and keep only 16 leds. I want to power up the 16 leds with the two cr1220 batteries without using the controller. So the 16 leds would only be attached to the batteries.
My question: Would I need any sort of resistor in order not to harm the leds? I couldn't find any resistor inside the controller, so I'm not sure if it's needed.
I don't know any technical information besides what's posted on the website.
Hope it makes sense!
