The "C" has the Charging circuit that you'll need if you want to charge your battery. The regular one is just a step-up booster.

The only place I have found availability is through ebay. adafruit seems to be sold out for a few weeks.

I'm wondering if the eBay sellers are just dropshippers, which means that you'll receive the board when Adafruit is back in stock. Probably me being crazy again, but hmmm...

Okay, so it turns out my hunch is wrong.

I also had trouble finding the adafruit board so I found a (cheaper) alternative. I added it to the wiki:

Hey thanks for adding that! That's another one that folks have been having a hard time finding.

Seems like an awesomely cheap alternative. What is it's mA+ rating, and how did you wire it?
