Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fully charge the ZGCINE ZG-X160 V-Mount battery?
With a 100W USB-C PD charger connected to the USB-C 1 port, the ZG-X160 charges from empty to full in approximately 2.5 hours, thanks to its 20V/5A PD input support.
Can I use two USB-C devices at the same time without losing charging speed?
Yes. The ZG-X160 features dual independent USB-C PD outputs — USB-C 1 (up to 100W) and USB-C 2 (up to 65W) — designed to operate simultaneously at full rated speeds with no power reduction between ports.
What information does the 1.3-inch IPS screen show, and does it work for D-Tap ports too?
The IPS screen provides real-time readings of current, voltage, total power output, remaining battery time, and temperature for every active port. Uniquely, this includes the D-Tap and BP ports — a feature not found on conventional V-Mount batteries.
