Some people may have seen that Campag are soon going to release an internal EPS battery.

It can apparently been mounted in the down tube attached to the bottle cage bolts. It's definitely bigger than the Di2 battery I take it that it's designed to fit down the seat tube but how would you get the battery into the down tube? Take the forks out? I doubt you could slot it in through the BB.

    the downtube option in the picture is probably not viable on most frames, the text at the start just says seat tube

    the hole drilling is off putting as well!
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Yeah, unless you could pull the charging cable up through the seat post / tube when required for charging.

    Poshbikes have been looking at this aparently - seems like they have been supplied with pre-production batteries. I will be awaiting the release of the 2014 version anyway - just a bit gutted to know that i still wont be able to fit it in the downtube of the frame i want (BMC TMR01)
