Hi

If I have an XBee zb powered from a 3.7V battery, do I need a voltage divider to take it down? The data sheet says 3.6v Max, but I was wondering if I could get away without.

Thanks a lot

It's never a good idea to exceed the specs of a device. Generally what you would do is to regulate down to 3.3V with an LDO regulator, or, if your battery will drop below 3.3v at any point in operation, sometimes people use a switching regulator.

If you have it connected to Arduino, try clone Freaduino, it has 3.3 V logic and 3.3 V 500mA LDO on it.
