Shimano Di2 battery location?

[nealp]

Hi all,
I'm just in the process of building up my 2016 SB6C Frameset and wondering wether to make the switch from XX1 over to XTR Di2. I've seen numerous comments in reviews about the SB6C being designed with di2 routing in mind wondering if anyone has done it and if there is an internal location for the battery pack?? Any help appreciated . My build has stalled whilst I wait for boost rear hub!
Cheers.

They can fit inside the frame.

I did a di2 guide on the Facebook page.

Mine was in front of bb, others are in steerer tube, others are in top tube.

My battery is screwed already, so not impressed for a £900 rear gear system.

Thanks Andrew, will check out the Fb page. Sounds like there are many options but a bit worrying on the reliability!

The di2 has a 3 year warranty, so should all be sorted.

You can also plug it into a PC and most times it will search for faults.

3 years sounds good. Couldn't find the guide on FB but will give it some thought. I've been running xtr for years then made the switch to xx1 about 12 months ago and overall really pleased but just needs a constant tweak to keep it indexing ok with regular cable changes where as xtr was fit and forget for me..
