Battery Powered LED Light Strip with AA Batteries

12v LED light strips can be used with AA batteries by picking the correct battery holder. An 8 slot battery holder will provide the 12 volts the light strip needs with alkaline batteries. Ni-MH rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage (1.2v) than alkaline batteries (1.5v). If you want to use rechargeable batteries, get a battery holder that will hold 10 batteries.

What size is that light strip. I am looking to operate 5M of 5050 with 300 light per strip.

Google would tell you this in 10 seconds. Good thing I spelled Google for you because you probably haven't heard of that either. BTW, Google's an internet search engine.
