do you connect 18650 directly or through step-down to 3.3V ?
Isn't fresh battery voltage of slightly over 4V too much for ESP ?

onboard 3.3V regulator. Don't push ESP8266 over 3.5V, it will be not happy at all. I know some people are abusing them over the specs, but I really don't recommend.

Ty, what regulator do you recommend considering it's internal voltage drop ?
