Can I use this SM-BCR2 to charge my old type of battery also?

No, the old type of battery does not have the charging circuits integrated in to it.

Updated the firmware and RD-6770 now works with SW-9071, ST-9071 and multi-shift. The FD-6770's braze-on bolt inserts came loose during installation and the derailleur is out to Shimano for warranty.

After this firmware update, when the RD-6770 RD is paired with the ST-9071, does the RD shift properly on an 11-speed cassette or on a 10-speed cassette?

You would need the new Dura-Ace Di2 RD-9070 for 11 speed compatibility.

Does anyone know if the reverse is possible? Can you use 6770 shifters with 9070 RD for 10-speed action? I really don't care to upgrade to 11-speed at this time but really like the looks and weight of the 9070 RD compared to the 6770 RD.

EDIT: Yes, both are e-tube and are cross-compatible.

9070 is the new DA not 7970.

To answer your question if I remember correctly

If you have a 6770 system (Ultegra Di2) and you install a 9070 RD, (technically Shimano would suggest a 9070 FD as well), 11spd chain, 11spd cassette, and compatible wheels you would have an 11spd system. The shifters, once plugged into the RD (which contains the important stuff) think it's an 11spd system.

Yes, this is correct.

Hi Carlton,

Are the recently released sw-r610 11 sp sprint shifters compatible with Ui2 10 speed? I want to add sprint shifters to my setup but cant seem to confirm this info. I'm assuming that once you plug these sprint shifters they would automatically just function as an extension of the rest of the system which is 10 speed, what are your thoughts? I appreciate any advice on this matter:)

Everything except the sprint shifters are cross-compatible between Ultegra and the new Dura-Ace Di2. You may need to update the the firmware though...

For whatever reason, the sprint shifters work with Dura-Ace 9070 only. The climbing shifters work with both.

Ok, thanks for the update. I'll order them and update the firmware.

I've heard that the sprint shifters fit into a special port on the Dura-Ace STI levers and that port is missing in the Ultegra version.

Is there anyway to confirm what you heard? Do you know a shimano rep or someone in the know?

i wondering if the following setups would work -

1) DIY or third-party charger
a) Cable Junction SM-EW67-A-E
b) Internal Battery SM-BTR2
c) Charger with DIY connector to plug into EW-SD50 cable
2) SM-BCR2 Charger
a) Cable Junction SM-EW67-A-E
b) Internal Battery SM-BTR2
c) SM-BCR2 Charger, with DIY adapter to plug into EW-SD50 cable

With setup 1, the cost is reduced by not using 1 x SM-EW90-A junction, 2 x additional EW-SD50 and 1 x SM-BCR2 Charger (substitute with 8.4V, 0.4A charger).
With setup 2, the cost is reduced by not using 1 x SM-EW90-A junction, 2 x additional EW-SD50. The OEM charger is used for firmware updates.

Both setups are based on the assumption that the SM-EW90-A junction does not have any circuitry. Besides cost saving, the advantage of this approach is no hacking to the OEM parts is required.

I asked the exact same question of our Shimano tec rep at a recent tour. Wanted to use the sprint shifters for customers with Cervelo P5s with hydraulic brakes. Unfortunately, the new e-tube sprint shifter will only work in the 3rd port of the 9070 STI lever.

But I also pitched the question of the tri bike setup where replacing the brake levers with 9071 is not an option ... still awaiting a response

Looks interesting, but I'm not sure if the price is low enough to outweigh the "factory-ness" of the Shimano internal battery solution. Regardless, good luck with the new product.
