When using iPhone 8 inside a Smart Battery Case for iPhone 7, can you still do Fast Charging with an Apple 29W charger? Or do you think it would damage the Smart Battery Case?

When using iPhone 8 inside a Smart Battery Case for iPhone 7, can you still do Fast Charging with an Apple 29W charger? Or do you think it would damage the Smart Battery Case?
In short, no. Even if the Qi did reach, the phone essentially cannot charge the case, only a power source can.
I purchased the iPhone 7 battery case for my iPhone 8 and it appears to be working but why does Apple say it’s not compatible with the iPhone 8? I’m confused.

it blocks the wireless charging coil and also, they say the A11 Bionic draws too much power, but I don't think thats true.
This is my first battery case but one thing I noticed is that my battery doesn’t drain first, the case drains first and then the phone battery drains 2nd. Also my phone always displays then charging symbol even when it’s at a full 100% which I’m not sure is right. So it appears to work just not the way it was designed to.
the widget lol. thats it. but yeah its designed like that.So what makes it so smart then?
