Do i need this to charge this battery? http://www.amazon.com/battery-packs-lithium-polymer-1200mah/dp/b00j2qet64/ref=pd_bxgy_147_3?ie=utf8&refrid=0054

Short answer: yes.Better answer: you only need this one specifically if you also need the 5v converter, 1A charging, and/or the smart load sharing (i.e. wall-power the device while charging). If literally the only thing you need to do is charge the LiPo battery you linked, you can get away with something simpler like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OKJFEQ2/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1456436852&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=adafruit+lipo+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=51HFAGe2AqL&ref=plSrch

Does this product come with the USB port or do you need to buy a separate one and solder it on?

It comes with one but it is not soldered on.

Does this come with a battery?

No, this is just the board, you can find batteries by looking for 3.7 volt lipos

Will this charge the lipo battery through the USB port?

Yes. I am using my board to charge Adafruit 328 Battery (lipo 2500mAh). Micro USB port to charge the battery.
