Found an AXS battery nestling on side of a trail last week, looked like it had been there a while. Guess it was from a front mech or seatpost as rear mech they'd probably notice it was not there pretty quickly and gone hunting for it.
Remember the early days of Di2 (had DA10) and everyone absolutely freaking out that my battery might run out and I'd be stuck in some crazy gear. Never happened, would even still head out when battery indicator was telling me 'ffs recharge me' and make a regular sunday ride no bother (Sometimes shifted real real slow at the front though). Newer DA11 + Ult11 IIRC have bigger capacity batteries and more efficient on them.
Would 100% go electric shift/wireless on a road bike again, but on a MTB, just can't justify a £3-500 rear mech, I smash into stuff way too often, rear mechs, levers and shifters are at constant risk with me lol.
