I noticed that Fotga has released a V-Mount plate that can charge a V-mount battery but there are only 2 contacts on the Vmount plate - the outer positive and negative contacts only?

Is this possible? Does the battery know to switch to being charged? I guess it could since Sony NPF batteries only have 2 contacts for using and recharging.
My understanding is that there is another contact on the Vmount battery specific for charging?
Also, how much weight can the V-mount locking system hold, especially if you mount it upside down, where the weight relies on the locking pin to hold it?
Thank you.
