    I doubt there's a battery in it, they're just sending an outputs so will be sending voltage to the mechs from the main battery. Likely a poor connection damaged cable.

    I'm not sure about sram but if like di2 push home the connections at the mechs then move to the shifters.

    Thanks. Changed the battery ( tried a few) now the light flashes orange instead of green ( was no light until changed battery) and can’t sync it to the derailleur. Left one is no problem. Anyone any ideas it’s doing my head in !

    You might need to disconnect the battery from the mech it's controlling the orange light could be it looking to pair with another device and the mech is probably in standby. I'm 100% guessing here but nothing ventured :D

    Thanks. I’ve taken out the coin batteries in the shifters going to get two new ones shortly and hopefully that will help.
