Hello, I recently bought an external monitor for my 2017 MacBook Pro 13". I bought the Dell 24 P2419HC Monitor, it connects to my MacBook Pro via USB-C. It works perfectly! My only concern is that I noticed that it is simultaneously charging my MacBook Pro. Is it bad that my MacBook Pro is always at 100%, does that damage my MacBook battery?
Thank you! That makes sense, when I click the battery icon on my MBP, it says Power Source: Power Adapter. I guess that means my battery isn't being used, its using electricity from the outlet. I was just concerned my MBP would be damaged. Thanks again!

No, in fact it’s best to run on AC power as much as possible (your battery lifespan will be longer). You can’t overcharge your Mac.
Neither your computer nor your battery will be damaged by leaving it plugged in. Leaving it plugged in reduces the rate of accumulation of battery cycles.
Thank you! Technically its not plugged into the wall, it's connected to my monitor, which is connected to the wall. Is that still okay?
That’s fine.
Using external monitor with 2017 MacBook Pro 13" and it's battery implications.
