  It shouldn’t… I went three months without charging (also not a whole lot of riding, but it should hardly lose any charge).

  First thing I’d do is fully charge the battery, then disconnect it (be sure to place a dummy plug in the middle port!) and then check the battery charge level in 2-3 days. If it’s not still at 95-100%, the battery is probably faulty (warranty).

  Oh yes, definitely!

  The main restriction is that 105 shifters don’t have sd300 or satellite shifter ports.

  The only 11-speed di2 parts that’ll work with 12-speed Di2 are some TT/tri shifters and SW-R9150.

  BAM! Hi! I'm in a meeting, but here is a quick reply :)

  The AD305 is just a 'dumb' port converter, it won't make 11-speed derailleurs work with 12-speed shifters, unfortunately.

  There is a 12-speed MTB Di2 rear derailleur, but it's e-bike only. It doesn't have the wireless or junction A functionality like the other 12-speed di2 derailleurs do... unfortunately.

  Here it is!

  Interesting (I thought): the system lets you select a cassette... 9 speed, 10-speed... or 11-speed or more.
  (according to the images, I use pat2pdf to get the PDF with images).

  And it seems there's also a wireless-but-with-mechanical-cable system, just like Archer.

  Cheat Sheets are done! Finally, hah!

  There's a page on them here, but you can also use this link to the main zip file (with all 3 cheat sheets).

  https://assets.bettershifting.com/cheat-sheets/all-di2-cheat-sheets.zip

  Feel free to edit them and move things around, and put your own logo at the top right if you feel like it. The only thing I ask is that you leave the QR codes / site links intact :)

  Sort of... I'll probably change the text, but yeah.. it depends on the model.

  6870 / 9070 have an electronic top limit as well as 2 bolts, and you shift to big-big to adjust that, yes.

  Newer derailleurs don't have a low limit bolt, and that limit is set electronically by shifting to small-big.... and these also have the big-big electric limit.
  (12sp ultegra/da FDs don't have limit bolts at all)

  Derailleur adjustment is so 'complex' that I decided to put the actual how-to on pages, and only show how to get into adjustment mode on the 'cheat sheet' - hence the QR code/link.

  There's probably room to talk about the different modes in the A3-sized version of the cheat sheet though!
