That's odd; all of the Adafruit 3.7v lipo battery chargers charge to 4.2v. Are you saying they are blowing up their customers?!!?
stj:
i'm saying read your battery datasheets.
and maybe this one.

All the Lithium Polymer cells I have encountered require charging to terminate at 4.2 volts. I think you may be confusing the average voltage of a lithium cobalt cell over it's discharge curve (3.7v) with it's peak voltage (4.2v).

i thought lithium-polymer used a totally different charge profile - i know my charger wont charge them. (Lii-500)

LiPo's are 4.2V max. and best charge chartacteristics are similar to what the TP4056 does. In model use our higher end chargers follow a similar strategy, gentle for over discharge, high current until mainly charged then tapering to 4.2 finish.
To the OP if you need a holder and 5 or 3V on your board take a look at these for an all in one Charger/BMS/Regulator. 18650 Module
