BQ25504 in parallel with LiPo charger

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25504

Hello,

I am building a setup in which the BQ25504 is connected to a small PV panel and trickle charging a single cell LiPo battery (connected on the VBAT pin). I want to also charge the battery through a small LiPo charger circuit powered from the USB bus. I have connected the output of the USB charger to the battery, in parallel with the BQ25504 circuit. Are there any problems that might arise from this? I am noticing a decrease in battery voltage when the USB charger is connected.
