Troubleshooting

Battery not powering connected devices

Ensure the battery is charged and properly attached to the V-mount plate. Check that the connected device's power requirements are within the battery's output specifications and that the correct ports are used.

Battery not charging

Verify the power adapter is a 100W PD charger and is securely connected to the battery's charging port. Try a different compatible charger or cable.

TFT display is not working or is dim

Ensure the battery has a charge. If the issue persists, contact customer support. Avoid applying pressure to the screen.

V-Mount connection is loose

Inspect the V-mount plate and receiver for any debris or damage. Ensure the battery is fully slid onto the mount plate until it locks.

Device not recognized when connected

Confirm the connected device supports the charging protocol (e.g., USB-C PD) and power output of the respective port. Try a different USB-C cable if using that port.
