Updated November 7, 2022 by BetterShifting Terry

To check a shift lever battery, press-and-hold both buttons on that shift lever for 0.5 seconds or more.

Shift lever battery check

The LED on the shift lever will then indicate the battery status.

Shift lever battery status

  • Green: 11% to 100% battery
  • Red: 1% to 10% battery level
  • No LED: 0%

If your shifter LED turns red, you have about a month to go before it’ll go completely flat - buy a new CR1632 (Amazon | eBay) and replace that battery as soon as possible.

Here is more information on checking and changing wireless shift lever batteries.
