MEET ESP32-C3 BOARD ON TOP OF A RECHARGEABLE 16340 BATTERY

What can be better than ESP8266 and ESP32? Maybe a battery-powered ESP32-C3 board designed to provide lower power consumption. LILYGO® has just launched an ESP32-C3 board with a rechargeable 16340 battery holder. The new board, aptly named LILYGO TTGO T-OI PLUS consumes lesser power as its SoC single-core RISC-V processor uses 5uA and 130uA in deep and light sleep modes respectively in contrast to its counterparts’ ESP8266 and ESP32

CIRCUIT PROVIDES REVERSE-BATTERY CONNECTION PROTECTION

A universal problem in battery-operated devices is the threat of damage when an end-user (never an engineer) inserts the battery backward. You can avoid damage by inserting a single diode or by using a diode-bridge configuration, but those fixes waste power and reduce the supply voltage by adding one or two diode drops between the
