Your description in the former post ... did you try opening the battery storage and dry it with a hair drier.. and let it dry for a couple of days? It sounds like a water problem.
My Powermeter hat exactly the same issue and i was lucky that drying could recover the system. Even the "empty" battery was then on 85% .
I have already seen some water problems at the 12x Di2 at Instagram. Seems like they either tried a new design or simply were saving money in the wrong spot.

Yes I opened it and let it dry for about 24 hours no change. I wired the shifters they work fine now. But the 3rd port in the di2 battery didn't snap the cable in so it was not secure. It always disconnected when I inserted it to the frame. I had to swap the battery from my 2nd bike where I need only 2 wires. I won't even bother contacting Anrancee about it.

Doesn't sound good
But try it again and let it dry several days. Plastic materials  bed up to a week to dry out.

Did you guys find any good offers for the 11/11 sale? I had a look but there was not much price difference... . At least there will be the codes. Just checking because in the past I was not able to find all the offers with the search function.

Di2 prices seem to be higher even for 11/11 than they were a few weeks ago.  Coupons slightly better. Interesting.

I am noticing that the price difference between buying on AliExpress and locally (in the UK) is not so much! I only just started shopping for an Ultegra 12 speed Di2 full groupset, and I do not know what prices were like earlier this year.

I can buy for 1057GBP +35GBP shipping from anrancee and risk additional customs tax. Compare this to local UK price of 1175GBP with free shipping and no added tax.

And most importantly, there is high risk, that you will not be able to solve potential warranty case locally, if you buy from AliExpress.

For me, the prices are really good in the Anrancee Store. I'm based in Switzerland, and the Shimano R8170 ULTEGRA Di2 Electronic Part (upgrade kit) costs 800 CHF / 992 USD including shipping (without coupons). With coupons, I can save another 98 CHF, so the total comes to around 700 CHF / 868 USD for the Shimano R8170 ULTEGRA Di2 upgrade kit.

The Shimano 105 R7170 Electronic Part Groupset (FD R7150) comes to about 520 CHF / 645 USD in total.

That's roughly 200–400 CHF cheaper than buying it here or from Germany.
I contacted Anrancee support, and they confirmed that they can adjust the declared value on the parcel for me, so I'll have no import tax or a very low one. Support was really helpful and made the items for me available to order from Switzerland. Beforehand I couldn't find the groupsets because shipping to Switzerland was not available and I was only able to see them over the direct link.

However, I agree with what others have said — if you have any issues with the groupset, you probably won't be able to claim warranty, which is the major downside.

Did you guys get the insert pins for brake hoses with your complete groupsets? Cant find them.

Those are the correct pins to order right?

No, only olive inside the lever. Check twice if you have them already installed before installing twice olives.

This is the right model. You csn buy them on Aliexpress (no problem for me but IIRC, some people had some problèmes).

olives are already pre installed, but I had to buy the pin, as they were not coming with the groupset, the ref. is H90.

Here you will have the installation manual, just look after your groupset and all will be explain.

How did you get 220€ discount. Max I have is 120€ with 85€ coupon, a 3€ store coupon and the 33€ paypal discount. Because then it would be a no brainer but total for me is 730€ (798€ groupset, 52€ shipping)

Just be aware that this set is for rim brakes and cable-actuated disc brakes, not hydraulic disc brakes.

Has anyone bought an ultegra chain on ali? Just a chain not a full groupset. I know it's full of fakes but does someone have a good experience (with competitive price?)
