I actually can't see a difference between the 2. Maybe I did not read closely.

there may not be,

but the 18650 looks a little more populated and looks a little more tricky to work with (soldering to)

plus the generic/banggood has a few led that you can use.... (plus its tried and tested)

Right, might have a plan :)

I remembered i have a usb powerbank with 3 x 3.7v 3200mah 18650's in parallel i would remove 2, now the good thing is the board allows me to charge the batteries and power devices connected to it (win win).

The only Issue i can see is the switch as it works like so:

Single Press = On
Once on Double Press = Torch (has white led on it, might come in handy while playing in bed to show the way to the toilet lol)
Press and Hold = Off

It also has :

5 LEDs that show the current capacity and each led flashes to show current level while charging and Auto Off once the device its charging isn't pulling current.
