That depends on 2 things

1) the type of LED's, if you have the manufacturers box you can look at them or if you have a model number then you can probably look it up online, you can find the voltage for each one and as well as the ampeareage for each one.

2) Now comes the voltage part for lighting 5 together. If  you are daisy chaining them, i,e. current flows in a serial fashion i.e one after the other then it is (5 x your individual voltage")

3) If you are making parallel connections, i,e. all of them feed of a single point and connect back to a single point then it is just voltage of one single LED, you will need to make sure that your battery can supply enough current (ampeareage) for all 5 LED's.
