It uses OEM part number FT443493P-25, also cross-referenced as 103-0005-1, 103-1500-1, and COM-FT443493P. Drop it into any compatible Cobra dock charger and the BMS handshake starts automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLI7000 \/ LI7200 \/ CXR900 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 7.4V battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol — one pack covers all of them without adapter or modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through PTT transmit loads on a Cobra dock. The BMS handled the transmit current spike without tripping overcurrent, and the charge circuit accepted the pack cleanly on first insertion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst insertion on a Cobra dock charger:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the dock LED flashes a fault on first seat, remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strip with a dry cloth, and reseat firmly. New cells ship at storage voltage — the dock needs a clean contact cycle to accept the BMS handshake before charging begins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the LI7000 cuts out mid-transmission on a new battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe LI7000 pulls a sharp current spike the moment PTT is pressed. If the battery BMS reads that spike as an overcurrent fault, it trips and the radio drops out instantly. This is not a radio fault — it is the BMS protecting cells that were at storage voltage when inserted. Running two or three short charge-discharge cycles brings cell voltage up to operating range, and the BMS stops tripping on transmit spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBar indicator showing fewer bars than expected after swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eCobra's bar display reads voltage thresholds only — it does not track capacity. A new cell at storage voltage (typically around 3.7V per cell, 7.4V pack total) will show one or two bars even though the pack is not depleted. Charge the pack fully before reading the indicator. After a full charge cycle, the display should step up to full bars at or above 8.2V pack voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426370256986,"sku":"BWCS-MCL720TW-1","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426370289754,"sku":"BWCS-MCL720TW-2","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426370322522,"sku":"BWCS-MCL720TW-3","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-MCL720TW-1.webp?v=1779931050","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/cobra-li7000-replacement-battery-74v-1500mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
