3.7v Lipo Battery to power 3.3v arduino nano iot 33

Hello,

I'm looking to attach a 3.7 lipo battery to my arduino nano iot 33 so it can run wireless from my laptop. Relatively simple question, can I solder this battery directly into the 3.3v and gnd pins or will this overpower it beyond capacity? Or attach it to a wire coming from the 3.3v/gnd pins? If not, what kind of part do I need to step the power down from 3.7v to 3.3v?

Thanks

A schottkey diode would be just about right.

Bad idea.

Your so called 3.7V LiPo is actually 4.2V fully charged, thats not going to be good for a board that needs 3.3V.

Use a low drop out voltage regulator between the LiPo and the Nano IOT board, MCP1700 is a good choice. HCT7833 if you want more current handling ability.
