Battery Charge Limit & Battery Extender

So, just to clarify something regarding Battery Charge Limit and Battery Extender.

I have my battery charge limit set to 80% (because I do have my Framework laptop connected to charge most of the time).

I also have Battery Extender enabled with the Extender Trigger set 3.

Will these two settings conflict with each other? Or will the fact that I have the Charge Limit set to 80% mean that the Extender function after 3 days won’t really doing anything?

With a charge limit set to 80%, the Battery extender should never activate.
I disable, in the BIOS, the battery extender to be sure.
The battery extender works mainly if the charge is at 100% for long periods and the PSU is left plugged in. That does damage the battery over time. So the battery extender discharges the battery a bit to 90-95%.
There is no need for the battery extender function to do anything if the current charge is 80%
