BBBW battery operation

[mikepri...@gmail.com]

The BBB Wireless supports a LiPO battery, but the Octavo datasheet says the main 3.3V output should not be used when running on battery power. This is because the internal LDO regulator cannot maintain 3.3 volts as the battery voltage drops as it discharges. The WiFi and other subsystems use this supply.

Is there something I'm missing here? Or can the BBBW really operate on battery power?
