KEEPING MY MACBOOK PRO 2020 PLUGGED IN

Hi! I recently purchased Plugable and one of its features is that it can charge my MacBook while using the device. However, I am kind of worried that if I keep it plugged in, it might affect my battery. I work from 9 hours everyday (with breaks, of course lol). Is it advisable that I keep Plugable plugged into my MacBook since it is easier to access all the ports and hubs when it's plugged in. Would appreciate your answers. Thanks!

Best to leave the Mac portable plugged-in to charger when it's near

the grid power. It cannot be over-charged; and will not be harmed.
