Connecting 2 wires each to + & - on battery to recharge the circuit

My question is if I can have a simple circuit consisting of a rechargable LIPO, led, switch, and resistor in one contained circuit, then from the - and + of the Lipo also connect a magnetic pogo adapter to recharge the battery. Would I just have to make sure the switch is turned off before connecting to charge? Or would this even be a problem. My attached picture is the circuit I’d like to run. I’m trying to fit this into the smallest possible space. So I need to ditch the charging module board. My first design had the Lipo connecting to the rechargeable Lipo module directly via jst. The charging board has + and - holes to connect your circuit to after connecting the battery, so I soldiered the LED, switch, and resister circuit directly to that board. But the circuit was too large with the battery and Lipo recharging module all together. So I had the idea to keep the charging module outside of the main circuit, using magnetic pogo adapters. That way I save space and can just attach it outside the device in a sort of special charger that I make with the module. Any issues with this?

You might need to check the current rating of the magnetic adaptor.
I assume it really would not be all that much so may be inappropriate.
It would depend on the charge rate you set for the Lipo as no details are enclosed about that.
Be aware also that USB sockets(as on your input) are usually no more than a couple of Amps.

Other than that, having a charge/discharge circuit connected at the same time should be no problem, motor vehicles do it every day.
