Caution with that. Di2 has specific charging amperage needs, I doubt a battery stick will charge the Di2 battery. A battery bank might. I know they caution to not use a laptop USB when the laptop is not on shore power.

And a a user of 2 Di2 systems, one on a road bike, the other on a mt. bike, I know I would not purchase a new complete road bike without Di2. As well, As I contemplate a new FS mt. bike, I ponder whether I will swap my Di2 system (11 spd.) over to a new 12 spd. bike. Di2 on a mt. bike is actually better then on a road bike as you shift a ton more and having perfect shifting makes it so easy, as well, no maintenance. It baffles me why more top end mt. bikes do not come with Di2.
