How to disable USB-C charging?

I need the way to disable USB-C charging, I know there are lots of topics about that, but final answer is always, keep it, because it doesn't heart battery to have constantly plugged in... I know it doesn't, I don't mind if charger is connected all the time, but I don't want other devices to start charging my laptop.


*** I have 4K LG screen, that has power output 50 WATTS and already damaged 2 Macbook Pro batteries, because it is unable to deliver enough power, so whenever I do my work 15^ model starts slowly discharging when it's CPU/GPU is needs lots of power, now I connect charger first and then screen, in this case original charger is used as power source, but when it goes to sleep, or monitor goes to sleep, then sometimes after wakeup it starts charging from LG's PD instead of original charger, this happens with both M1 Macbook Pro 13 and Intel Macbook Pro 15^ 2016 model, also I had 13^ intel one, which was totally destroyed, I had to take it to repair service, because of this and replace some chip on board other than just battery, so please if anyone has any solution I'll be very thankful.


*** Display also supports HDMI, but it supports only 1440p 60hz over HDMI(it has HDMI 1.1 or something), If I want to have 4K 60Hz I have to use USB-C, we have 4 screens same model at office and it damaged several macs already, so if you have any suggestion, it would help us a lot, I don't want to damage more Macs especially new M1 because of this USB-C problem, I can't find proper C to C cable that supports only display output either.


thank you.

I don't think you read my post before replying it, I specified already that I had official apple charger that comes with laptop connected to it, and plus monitor with type-c, and if screen starts charging it first after restart or from sleep, it sometimes gives power first or something, I'm not sure what incompatibilities you are talking about, how is it possible that official apple charger is not electrically compatible with my devices? also my question was how to disable USB-C charging from screen, both of your replies are useless, I'm sorry, but "use the apple supplied charger" is useless as I already mentioned that after sleep sometimes it doesn't start charging from original charger and starts charging from screen's type-c, did you guys even read what was the problem? I don't think so.


I always use official charger and always have it connected to laptop, but laptop is not always charging from official charger if another PD device is connected to it, that's why I need help.

We have several LG screens at office and it caused several macs to have batteries damaged in less than 5 months, so yes I think it’s specific to us who use overpriced LG screens and they didn’t even care if it is killing our laptop batteries, so If I don’t try to manage my battery what is your suggestion? Replace batteries every 2 months? Worst thing other than having a problem is when you get useless answer, I’m going to write some kind of program to manually handle that, and to not waste time I thought there maybe there is some existing solution for it, I wasn’t expecting everyone to advice keep it as it is and wait until it dies, are you guys replying every post for points? Or do you really think those answers are really useful? I’ve received more useful answers on other resources than on official Apple forum, so sad…

You do not have to micro-manage your battery charging—

the computer will not over charge and manage the appropriate power input.


You are not going to disable USBC charging... this is the preferred...
