Adafruit 1000c & Banggood power/charger alternative

I live in Mexico and getting the Adafruit 1000c & Banggood component is quite hard, I would like to power the gb zero with 4 18650 batteries, Has anyone tried a component like this one?

Not sure if that will work. It looks like it will boost the output of a battery to 5v and distribute that, but it does not look like it will charge the battery. Might have to pair it with something like this:

Also 4 18650 batteries will be quite large. Not sure if that will fit in a gameboy easily.

Sorry I meant 4 14500 batteries connected in parallel
The description mentions that it has battery charging protection:
"DC 2.6-5.5V to 5V 2A non-isolated step up (boost) module.^Max 2A output, up to 93% conversion efficiency.^With red green battery indicator, the red led lights up when it lower than 3.6V.^With over-current protection, over-temp protection to protect the circuit."
I thought it charged, but I will keep investigating...
thanks
