So, yesterday I tried out the new board. It works very well, I would say this better than the Pulolo boards. It is also up to slightly hot from little bit hot. But not as hot as in the Pulolo boards.

It charges continuously with 4.85v and 800mA. When the battery arrives at 3.04v, the board stops with the charge. He tried it anyway further boost, but only up to 2.52v, then the discharge protection stopt the charging.

Next step is to integrate a charge protection so that the battery is not more than 3.8 v loaded.

Good work!

There are a lot of chips than can manage charging of lipo's and li-ions.

lipo charger, chip also available separately
http://www.adafruit.com/products/259

even with qi wireless carging option intergrated (just chip):

maybe you could even replace your chip with a relais/transistor triggered by the V33 output!

sounds interessting, but the board is little bit to big, but adafruit have a micro version:

if you want to design a pcb with a charging and 5v regulator on board, let me know! the chips -almost the only part on those charging/regulator/booster boards- are very cheap!
