Active braking without regen current

Hi all!

We are working on a student project with bikes, where we have attached multiple devices to the battery, that also powers the VESC. We want to use the braking mechanism, but are concerned with current flowing into the battery and damaging our other attached devices.

Is the safest option to just set the regen current to 0? We still need a negative motor current to actively brake, if I understand the functionality correctly.

I appreciate your help!
