Not compatible with older Shimano SD50 11-speed Di2 systems.

Professional installation is recommended, especially for internally routed frames and seatpost-mounted battery systems.

Shimano 12-Speed Di2 Power Core

The BT-DN300 is the main internal battery for Shimano’s latest semi-wireless Di2 road and gravel drivetrains. It powers the front and rear derailleurs, allowing the shift levers to communicate wirelessly while the derailleurs remain connected to a stable internal power supply.

3-Port SD300 Design

The 3-port layout simplifies wiring by allowing direct connection to the front derailleur, rear derailleur and an optional wired cockpit or additional Di2 component. This is especially useful for riders who prefer maximum reliability or need specific wiring layouts for integrated road bike builds.

Slim Internal Mounting

The compact internal design allows the battery to be hidden inside compatible seatposts, frames or dedicated mounts. This keeps the bike looking clean, modern and uncluttered while protecting the battery from external damage.

Lithium-Ion Reliability

The rechargeable lithium-ion system is designed for long service life, consistent power delivery and low-maintenance electronic shifting. For most riders, Di2 battery life is excellent when the system is correctly installed and maintained.

Shimano E-Tube Firmware Compatibility

The BT-DN300 works with Shimano E-Tube Project for firmware updates, system checks and diagnostic support. This helps mechanics and riders keep Di2 components functioning correctly and ensures compatibility across supported Shimano components.

Clean Semi-Wireless Integration

Modern Shimano Di2 road systems use wireless shift lever communication combined with internally wired derailleurs. This gives riders the clean cockpit appearance of a wireless system while retaining the reliability of a central internal battery.

Physical Fit

Compact internal battery format
Designed for internal mounting inside compatible seatposts, frames or battery holders
Shared-style mounting concept with previous Shimano internal Di2 battery systems, although holder compatibility should always be checked

Wiring Fitment

Uses Shimano EW-SD300 wires only
3 SD300 ports
Suitable for 12-speed Shimano Di2 systems
Not suitable for older SD50 wiring without specific system compatibility

Installation Notes

Correct installation depends on:

Frame internal routing design
Seatpost battery holder compatibility
Wire length selection
Di2 component layout
Dummy plug placement
Rear derailleur charging access

A professional bike mechanic should install and test the system to ensure reliable shifting, charging and firmware communication.
