People post about removing and recharging the battery after every ride instead of every two weeks or more. I've warned them that something will wear out prematurely.
If that's an 11 speed RD it will be tough to source a new one and expensive.
Yeah, there's no need to be recharging batteries after every ride. I ride in rolling hills so I shift a lot and I charge no more than every 400 miles.
I think it
was last years that SRAM announced they had redesigned the eTap Red 11spd RD to have a part for warranty and repairs. The thing that caught my eye was they added a clutch to the RD at the same time. So I don't think one would have a hard time getting a replacement RD on either warranty or as a purchased part. Side benefit is that it would have a quieter a chain line with their clutch ("ORBIT chain management system" or something like that).
