On my wife's new Liv Avail Advanced Pro 1 the SRAM Axs eTap shifter on the right side is eating batteries. 3 batteries in 6 weeks, approx every 2 weeks. This is the CR2032 coin cell battery in the shifter, not the rechargeable derailleur batteries. The shifter batteries are said to last 1-2 years. The bluetooth antenna's are activated by motion detected by accelerometer housed in the rear derailleur (i believe) and we chalked the first 2 battery drains to hauling the bikes for many hours in our 5th wheel during some travel, without removing the derailleur batteries to deactivate the system. I thought it possible that bikes, which were opposing each other side by side may have resulted in shifter presses on the right side from bumping against the seat of the companion bike, and the system activating due to motion detected by the accelerometer. However, the bike has been home for the past 2 weeks and still drained another fresh battery in about 2 weeks.
We are pursuing warranty replacement, which shouldn't be too hard hopefully.
I also have the same SRAM group set on my BMC Roadmachine 01 and have had no issues.
Anybody else have this issue with SRAM Force eTap?
