Hey guys, Its really time consuming to charge my Di2 junction box located on the bottom of the bar, underneath a lid. I have to flip the bike upside down, remove the Garmin mount, and get to a lid which has three screws located in a tight position. The little opening located in the lid below is just too small to get the charging cable through. I called the company rep last week and was told the bar isn't necessarily easy solution for Shimano's Di2 :shock: . Meaning, yeah, its not a really a good implementation. Any of you have a better solution? Thanks!

Can you not use the bar end A junction box( EW-RS910)? That should solve the mounting issue.

Or can you modify the cover to suit? Enlarge the hole or cut a new one?

Hi Stang1 - I am really excited to see this thread on WW however your pic is no longer showing - is there any way you can please upload again? I would love to get away with just mounting the stem junction box and avoid the expense and fuss of fitting the bar end solution

Many thanks
Mike

Does anyone know where you can purchase the Vision Di2 cover? Seems to be out of stock everywhere.
