You might as well stop using the magnetic USB cable, I know you don't use it very often, but there have been several reports of users claiming that the magnetic tip has either damaged or bricked their devices, some people say it's only safe while charging, some other say the design it's not compliant with USB specifications, and even a few others say the tip fried their circuits.

Overall, your magnetic tip may as well be damaging your port little by little, or worse, might be somewhat responsible for what happened to the battery.
