Problem powering ESP8266 with two 1.5V AA cells

In a nutshell, you can't power the ESP8266 module either directly or using LDO using two AA batteries. You would have to use at least three AA alkaline/lithium/Carbon-Zinc batteries. … The rechargeable Ni–MH or Ni-cd batteries will barely make it as each cell is 1.2V (nominal). A better (no hassle) solution is to buy ESP module with a battery pack like one below. …
