Lightning icon still on while power adapter?

Hi everybody,

when my MacBook Pro 15'' 2017 is powered by the power adapter, the icon still remain the "lightning", instead of the "plug". See photos.

I tried to reset the SMC but didn't change.

Is my MacBook powered by the power adapter rightly?

Is this "icon thing" just an error, and I can pass over?

Or maybe there's something to do about it?

I'm just worried for my battery life.

Thanks


MacBook Pro

Since you are using the Mac with the power adapter connected, there is a current draw and that charge indicator will remain. You cannot remove it until you disconnect the power adapter.
