Batteries require management with control circuitry normally on the MCU. This means you need to pick MCUs that support batteries.
You will also want a on off switch for the battery somewhere.
I always use LIR2450 button cell batteries where I can. The steel body makes them more resistant to damage where as pouch cells can't take much of a scuff.
They're very portable! Just make sure the battery can't be smushed if the board itself gets some pressure, and that it can't get poked by sharp / conductive things.
ZMK for the nice nano and XIAO nrf52840 should even report battery life! Your primary half (generally left) drains faster than the accessory half.
RGB / screens that aren't designed for low power are utterly destructive to battery life. I get ~1-2 weeks on 120mah splits. With RGB I'm lucky to get an hour.
You don't change these batteries as they're rechargeable. Most boards will function while recharging. I offer QI wireless charging on my boards if you request it.
