The first time I was at work, the FD stopped working on the way in...I thought I had enough to get home, so I just tuned off the sync shift and used the RD, and then it went dead...but, going home was generally downhill, so it wasn't painful. The next time was brutal. I did complete the ride, but I pay close attention now.

The FD stops working first. The system will stop shifting it, to preserve battery power to run the RD. The FD uses a lot more power. I can't remember how many shifts are left in the RD at that point, maybe 100? With careful gear management one in theory can limp it him on the RD alone.

That would be nice to see the ratio.
Compatible Garmins will allow for display of gears by teeth (e.g., 50-16), position (on the cog/crankset, e.g., 2-8), a visual display of the gear position (literally a series of bars of variable length to look like the cogs or chain rings, and then the one selected is colored, the rest are gray), or ratio (mathsss).
