The derailleur battery and SRAM charger are provided with the bike. SRAM says that the battery will last about 20-40 hours (500-1000km) and we recommend that you fully charge it before using your carbon gravel bike for the first time. We recommend recharging it at least once a month. The shifter batteries are directly integrated by SRAM and synchronized with the derailleur during assembly, so you don't have to do anything.
