battery.Master the screen.
Your FabiRide V3 pack has a full-colour Smart Display and a single multi-function button that runs the whole show — state of charge, live power, health, faults and charging. This is the complete rider's guide: how to read every screen, switch between them in the right order, power up safely through the QS8 anti-spark connector, and charge without hurting the pack.
One button. One screen.
Total control.
Everything lives on the side of the pack: the full-colour Smart Display and a single metal button right next to it. There are no menus to dig through — short taps, double taps and a hold are all you need. The QS8 anti-spark connector beside it carries the ride and fast-charge current.
Full-colour Smart Display
High-contrast, glove- and sunlight-friendly. Shows charge, voltage, current, power, temps, cell limits, health and faults — updated live.
Multi-function button
The only control. Wakes the screen, switches views, turns the display off, and arms / disarms the output power (discharge MOSFETs).
QS8 anti-spark connector
Heavy-duty plug for the ride harness and fast charging. Its pre-charge pin tames inrush current so nothing arcs when you plug in.
Integrated charge port
Standard charging via the XT60 / 3-pin port — keep day-to-day charging here at the recommended current for longest cell life.
Four gestures, the whole menu
Learn these four and you've learned the entire interface. The same button behaves differently depending on how you press it.
Single click
Wake & flip view
If the screen is asleep, one tap wakes it. On the Home screen, each tap flips between the two Home views — live Voltage + Current and your stored Max Power + Max Current.
Double click
Next main screen
Steps through the main screens in a loop:
Home → Battery Info → Current Chart → Home. This is how you move between the big information pages.
Triple click
Display off
Puts the display to sleep on demand to save power. Your ride keeps working — this only turns the screen off. One single click brings it back.
Long press
Power ON / OFF
Hold for ~3 second to toggle the output power (discharge MOSFETs) on or off. The Home badge switches between ON and OFF. This is your master arm / disarm.
Every screen, in sequence
There are six views. You drive between them with single and double clicks — and two of them (Charging and Fault) appear on their own when they're needed. Here's the exact order and what each one tells you.
01 Home screen
Your default view — the one-glance dashboard you ride on.
- Charge % Big colour-coded state of charge — green when full/healthy, orange getting low, red nearly empty, blue while charging.
- Pack spec Your configuration up top, e.g. 20S – 55Ah (cell groups in series and capacity).
- ON / OFF Output power badge. OFF = discharge MOSFETs disarmed; ON = armed and ready to ride.
- Voltage Live pack voltage in volts.
- Current Live current draw in amps.
- Cells Cell temperature plus the lowest and highest cell-group voltages — your fastest health check.
Flip to the Max view to see the highest power (kW) and current (A) the pack has delivered — the quickest way to check how hard you've actually been pushing it.
02 Battery Info
The health & history page — everything about the pack itself.
- Manuf. date The day your pack was built.
- SN & Version Serial number and Smart System firmware version.
- R. Cap. Remaining usable capacity in Ah — how the pack is ageing vs its rating.
- Cycles Lifetime charge–discharge cycle count.
- Last charged How long since the last top-up.
- L. P. without chrg The longest period the pack has ever gone without a charge (useful for storage care).
- Cell temp Min / High The coldest and hottest cell readings logged.
03 Current Chart
A live rolling graph of current draw — see exactly how you ride.
- A (vertical) Current in amps — the harder you pull, the higher it climbs.
- T (horizontal) Time. A fresh reading is taken every ~3 seconds.
- Rolling trace The curve scrolls to the left as new samples arrive, so the newest data is always on the right.
Screens that appear on their own
⚡ Charging screen
Shows up automatically once a charge is genuinely underway.
- Charge A big animated battery icon fills as you charge.
- Remaining Estimated time left until full.
- Live stats Voltage, current and temperature so you can watch it top up.
! Fault screen
If the Smart System detects a problem, it takes over the whole display.
- Full-screen alert Hazard stripes and a plain-language fault name (e.g. Output MOS Fault) cover everything else so you can't miss it.
- It shouts, then fades The fault stays up while the condition is active and clears once it's resolved, returning you to normal screens.
Arm the power, then plug in slow
High-voltage packs and controllers have big input capacitors. Connect them carelessly and the rush of current as those caps charge — the inrush current — throws a hot spark that pits your connector and stresses the electronics. The FabiRide QS8 anti-spark connector is built to stop exactly that, but only if you follow the order below.
Wake the display
Single-click the button. You'll land on the Home screen with the output badge most likely showing OFF after sleep.
Arm the output power
Long-press ~3 second to switch the discharge MOSFETs on. Watch the badge flip from OFF to ON — the pack is now live at the connector.
Mate the QS8 slowly
Push the QS8 anti-spark connector together slowly and deliberately. The slow mate lets the connector's pre-charge pin touch first and hold for 5s, gently charging the controller's capacitors through a resistor before the main contacts meet.
Seat it fully & ride
Once pre-charge has done its job, push the connector fully home so the main pins carry the load. No spark, no pitting — just clean power.
What the QS8 anti-spark connector does
Inside the QS8 is a small pre-charge contact wired through a resistor. When you mate slowly it touches before the main power pins, so the controller's capacitors fill up over a controlled ramp instead of all at once. That tamed inrush means no arc flash, no burnt contacts, and no shock load on the battery or controller every time you connect.
They are not the same thing
Riders mix these up constantly. On a SurRon or Talaria the "breaker" you flip is not protecting you the way a fuse would — and with FabiRide, real protection has moved inside the pack.
The fuse
A fuse is a sacrificial safety device. It carries the current through a thin element that melts and permanently breaks the circuit the instant current climbs too high — a dead short or serious overload. Once it blows, it's done: the circuit is open and the fuse must be replaced before anything works again. Its whole job is to fail so your wiring and battery don't.
The breaker
The "breaker" on a SurRon / Talaria is just a power switch. You flip it to connect or disconnect the battery from the bike — a convenient master ON/OFF. It is not a current-sensing protection device and it will not trip and save you in a fault the way a real fuse melts. Treat it as nothing more than a manual switch.
Two ways in. Know the limits.
You can charge a FabiRide V3 pack through the standard XT60 charge port for everyday top-ups, or fast-charge through the QS8 anti-spark connector when you're in a hurry. Each connector has its own safe and maximum current — stay inside them and the cells last for years.
Standard charge port
3-pin / XT60 · everyday charging
Your daily driver. Charge at the model's recommended “for durability” current — the gentlest current for maximum cell life. The XT60 connector is rated to roughly 30 A, so always keep standard-port charging at or below the recommended figure for your pack.
QS8 anti-spark
High-current · fast charging
The heavy-duty plug also takes a fast charge up to each model's maximum QS8 current. Use a charger rated for that current, mate the connector slowly (pre-charge!), and treat fast charging as the exception, not the rule — frequent slow charges keep the pack healthiest.
Charging limits by model
Recommended figure = safe / longevity current through the standard XT60 port. Max figure = fast-charge ceiling through the QS8 anti-spark connector.
