Powering esp 32 with battery

Hi, I want to power the dev kit with AAA (1.5V) battery * 2 but encounter an issue. The connector of the cage is jst type, so I cannot directly plug it into the board. Should I divide the cable into 2 part, soldering one to 3V3 pin, the other one to GND pin?

the battery cage:


the pinout:

The esp32 requires 3.3v so two AAA cells will only provide 3v so whilst it may possibly work it is far from ideal and probably wouldn't work for long as the battery voltage drops even more.

This video may be of help which talks about running an esp32 from a battery: The Best Power Source for ESP32/ ESP8266 Projects
