Apparently the Di2 batteries only need charging once a month or so, or every 1000-1500 miles. And full charge takes less than an hour. I was yacking with a guy last year that had Dura-Ace Di2, and he said he had only charged his once in 3 months, and he was riding 3-4 times per week X 40 kms. He said he could never go back to cables. Said the thing works flawlessly, never missed one shift.
And you never have to adjust a cable, ever. There is one adjustment screw on Di2 in the front and rear, and once it is set, you never have to touch it, unless you change your chain.
My question is when is Shimano going to get into the cell phone battery business.
