ZGCINE has just introduced a large-capacity model for their mini V-mount lineup, the ZG-V160.
This 142Wh cell offers dual D-Tap in/out, dual USB-C in/out, and a BP in/out port, while supporting 100W Power Delivery fast-charging. It is now available for $219.99.
The ZG-V160, which looks like a direct competitor to products such as the FXLION NANO THREE and the recently-released SmallRig VB155 is built on the legacy of the ZG-V50 and ZG-V99 models, the ZGCINE ZG-V160 is a 14.8V V-mount battery with an increased capacity of 142Wh.
The brick is populated by a huge variety of power ports, including dual D-Tap in/out, a USB-C in/out, a USB-C output-only, as well as a BP input/output. However, the addition of a secondary D-Tap port comes at the expense of the USB-A and DC outputs, which are now gone.
Particularly, the USB Type-C connectors support power delivery up to a maximum of 65W during output and 100W during input. According to the company, using 100W fast-charging allows it to achieve a full charge in about 3 hours.
The overall design is pretty much identical to that of the ZG-V50 and ZG-V99. A tiny, convenient OLED screen on the front of the cell displays the remaining battery percentage, and can be activated using the power button on the side.
Lastly, orange rubber lids protect the ports from moisture and dust, while the internal components are protected against over-current, -power, -voltage, and -charge, as well as short circuits, and high temperatures, according to the company.
