    You'd need some sort of inverter or USB charging pack - dynamos are AC out, di2 are DC in.

    But you're right, it is possible. I was being facetious about the battery - my point was rather more it's still a bit of a silly choice for touring / packing. Battery life / charging aside, if anything goes wrong with any part of the charging / di2 system out in the (a) field, life might get very difficult quite quickly and I would rather a relatively simple and ubiquitous mechanical system to fix.

    Admittedly looks like a Transco/enduro sort of rig so horses for strange courses

    Edit; uses an igaro for charging.

    But I think it's a really smart choice going di2 for bike packing. Di2 requires a lot less effort to shift, needs far less adjustment of your gears and you can easily do 3000km on a charge. In the 2 years I've used di2 I have never had any malfunction..

    And if you're going to go further than 3000km without a charger, than you can easily carry an extra battery or two.. They're only 56gram!
