    If you must have 3.3V you will have a hard choice. To get the most out of a nominal 3.7V Lithium Ion battery you would like to run it down to 3V or even 2.7V. Fully charged it will deliver 4V. For…

    The battery could have a max voltage higher than its nominal 3.7V , maybe as high as 4.2 V. Pico has a regulator that outputs 3.3V and expects interface signals to be 3.3V compatible. Do you have a specific…

    Recommend you first draw or sketch a schematic and check each component for 3.7v capability. You may need to include 5v circuits as well as 3v circuits. 

    I usually build my own breadboard using convenient connectors for power distribution , usually pcb to screw terminals. Ill include screw terminals for an external fuse and on/off switch.
