PowerProfilerKit: Negative current / Backfeeding

Hi, Is it safe to backfeed some current into the PPK. I use the PPK to measure the power consumption of a battery powered IoT device. I disconnect the battery and use the PPk to supply my device. However, when plugged in, the device will try to charge the battery and thus backfeed current into the PPK. I'm not really interested in measuring this current, but I'd like to be sure it won't damage the PPK or the DevBoard. Thanks, Val
