Would my UPS conflict with the witty pi 4?

Hello, as the title states, I'm planning a project with a witty pi 4 and im using it to power a small project with a pi zero 2w. With this project im using a Waveshare UPS HAT (C) to power it. This uses pogo pins to carry 5v power from beneath the GPIO pins. Will this cause an issue with the witty pi 4? My concern is that this would potentially also power the pi, and the witty pi 4 user docs clearly state that "Please do not connect power supply to your Raspberry Pi directly". 

 

Would this be an issue? I know about the Witty Pi 4 L3V7 which would cut out the need for the UPS, but i already have the UPS so may as well use it. 

 

Thank you!

We do not have the knowledge of Waveshare UPS HAT (C), and we don't know how it works.

If it directly powers your Raspberry Pi then it conflicts with Witty Pi.
