Drive Cobra GT4 Battery
High-Performance Power for Canada’s Most Stylish Scooter.
The Drive Medical Cobra GT4 is not just a mobility device; it is a statement. With its award-winning aerodynamic design, "Blade Runner" style tiller, and automotive-grade suspension, it is widely recognized as one of the most distinctive scooters on the road.
However, that aggressive styling demands significant power. The Cobra’s heavy-duty motor and large alloy wheels place a high demand on its batteries. If your Cobra is sluggish on inclines or the sleek LED display is showing dropping voltage bars, your batteries likely need attention.
At MobileBattery, we understand the unique engineering of the Cobra GT4. We provide specialized on-site battery replacement that protects your scooter’s bodywork while restoring its showroom-level performance.
The Cobra GT4 Battery Spec: Engineered for Distance
The Cobra GT4 is a "Heavy Duty Class" scooter, meaning it requires substantial energy storage to maintain its top speed of 16 km/h (10 mph).
Battery Group: Group 24 (High Capacity)
Voltage: 24 Volt System (2x 12V Batteries)
Factory Range: Approx. 45km - 50km (on fresh standard batteries).
Expert Note: The Cobra GT4 uses specialized heavy-duty cables. Using undersized batteries (like Group 22NF) in this machine is dangerous and can cause overheating. We strictly install Group 24 batteries that match or exceed Drive Medical’s OEM specifications.
Select Your Performance Tier
Because the Cobra GT4 is a high-performance machine, it benefits significantly from premium battery chemistry. We offer three power levels to suit your driving habits.
Option A: The Standard (AGM)
"Factory Spec Reliability." The perfect choice for the casual driver. If you use your Cobra for local neighborhood trips and shopping, our Standard AGM batteries provide a smooth, reliable ride that matches the scooter's original performance.
Option B: The Upgrade (Discover® EV Dry Cell)
"Unleash the Cobra’s Potential." Drive Medical designed the Cobra for the outdoors. Discover’s "Dry Cell" technology is built to handle the vibration and high-torque demands of outdoor terrain. These batteries maintain higher speed on hills and offer superior resistance to Canadian cold weather.
Best For: Users who tackle steep hills or drive in the rain.
Option C: The Lithium Experience (Discover® Blue)
"The Ultimate Upgrade." Transform your ride. By switching your Cobra GT4 to Discover Blue Lithium, you drop over 50 lbs of battery weight. This weight reduction makes the scooter accelerate faster, brake shorter, and handle sharper.
Smart Features: Monitor your battery life via Bluetooth on your smartphone.
Longevity: Designed to last up to 10 years.
The "Fairing Factor": Why You Need a Pro
The Drive Cobra GT4 is famous for its sleek, seamless plastic body panels (fairings). While beautiful, they present a challenge during maintenance.
The Risk of DIY: To access the battery compartment, specific body shrouds must be removed in a precise order. We frequently see Cobras with cracked plastic or broken locking tabs because an untrained owner tried to force the panels open to change a battery.
The MobileBattery Promise: Our technicians are trained on the specific disassembly protocol of the Cobra GT4. We use non-marring tools to ensure your scooter remains scratch-free and your body panels remain pristine. We handle the delicate work so you don’t have to risk damaging your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long should batteries last in a Drive Cobra GT4?
With daily use, standard lead-acid batteries typically last 18 to 24 months. If you upgrade to our "Dry Cell" option, you can often extend this to 3-4 years. Lithium options are rated for nearly a decade of service.
My Cobra GT4 slows down when I go uphill. Is that the battery?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of "Voltage Sag." As batteries age, they lose their ability to deliver high current under load. The scooter might show a full charge while stopped, but the power collapses the moment the motor asks for torque on a hill. A replacement cures this immediately.
Do I need to reprogram the scooter for new batteries?
No. For AGM and Dry Cell replacements, the Cobra GT4’s "Dynamic Rhino" controller adjusts automatically. If you choose our Lithium Upgrade, we verify your battery gauge calibration to ensure it reads accurately.
