Shimano di2 battery adapter for 27.2mm seat post
Description
I swapped my di2 to another bike, so needed to transfer the battery to a new post. 3D printer to the rescue! (that's right, you can see I damaged the battery during removal from the previous post) I designed this sleeve to fit over the di2 battery & fit inside a 27.2mm carbon seatpost. Print this thing with flexible filament. You might need to experiment with wall thicknesses & infill percentages depending on your filament so that it's squishy enough to insert inside the post. I had to print a couple of times before I was happy with the fit. My final settings were 2 wall thicknesses and a 10% infill with a cheap Chinese TPU It fits my post, so it may or may not fit yours. Not all posts are created equal. Print 2 of the sleeves. Slide one sleeve up so that it locks into the notch on the battery. Slide the second sleeve up so that it locks into the notch on the other end. Slide the battery & sleeve assembly into the seat post. This should require a fair amount of force to slide it in as you don't want it to vibrate loose when you ride. I've ridden most of one season with this & there's no hint of any movement to the system. Let me know if it also works with your seatpost!
