Q: USB-C cable with charging indicator

Hi, being used to the charge cables of earlier notebook models I am missing the LED indicator for the charging process at the plug of the usb-c cable for the new MacBook. To keep the battery in good conditions for as long as possible I want to be able to discontinue the charging process as soon as the battery is fully loaded. With the cable provide by Apple it is easy to forget.

 

Hence, is there o possibility to get a cable, indicating an ongoing or finished charging process?

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    That assertion is debatable.

     

    Tip: If you open the lid, unplug and replug the USB-C cord, you will see a momentary graphic of the battery's charge level.
