Yes, see the FAQ for a recently added section on the battery charging

Yes, this is a good idea if you are separately charging the HB's
battery. As you correctly surmise, you don't want the two charging
circuits contending with each other.
So I take it then that you are using the HB's battery just for running
the logic, and maybe relays to switch the motors on your 'bot?
