Hi everyone!

I'm new to using the esp32 and have seen contradicting information online about the way to power it with a Lipo-Li battery connected to the JST connector. I know the voltage of the battery has to be of 3.7V, but I can't seem to find a standard recommended capacity (amperage)... In the datasheet of the controller, it says that 200 mAH is recommended, but on some forums, I have found that the wifi communication uses up to 450mAh... I have also seen pictures where a 500mAh is connected to the JST, and even a battery of 3.7V - 1200 mAh. Knowing that I am powering a humidity sensor and a wifi communication only (I have an LCD but have a separate battery for it), is there a maximum of capacity that would risk damaging the controller? Can a 8000mAh be used to power it for long periods of time without charging as long as it is a 3.7V Lipo-Li battery?

Thank you for your help!
