Electronic shifting is the gold standard, and more bikes are coming equipped with these groups. Housing the battery into the seatpost is an elegant solution and a good use of space.
Available in 25.4, 27.2, and 30.9/31.6mm sizes, these plugs are designed to provide excellent battery retention and interface perfectly with ENVE carbon seatposts.
This is typical Enve quality. But it is NOT compatible with the 12 speed groupsets (e.g. DA-9200), at least for my 27.2mm seatpost.
Why? Well, the donut hole in the bottom of the plug where the wire is supposed to go through was engineered for the older style 1-port batteries (BT-DN110). The batteries that come with 12-speed groupsets (BT-DN300) have three ports. And the rubber on Enve's plug is too thick to accommodate the larger 3-port housing on these newer batteries.
Also, a suggestion: Enve, can you please add a rubber tab on the bottom (or something to grab onto) so that when it's time to swap batteries this will be easier to remove.
