Great setup. I have similar but with the 830 headunit
Hey DG. How are you liking your Varia 515? How long does it hold a full charge for? My 315 has been a stellar performer over the years but the battery is beginning to fade. I see Garmin has select devices on sale now and thought that it might be a good opportunity to pull the trigger on the 515. I’ll likely continue using the 315 for short trips or until it decides to bite the dust.Fitted the new Garmin Varia Front Light and Varia Rear Light / Radar combo.

The existing Varia Radar Display Unit fitted easily onto the new Out Front Mount.

Thanks for the feedback, DG. Decided to pull the trigger on the 515 and will continue using the 315 for shorter rides in conjunction with a Cygolite rear flasher.Hi @Prairie Dog
I really like it and it seems to hold the charge very well.
I use it in Day Flash mode and if I use it every day, I get about four days out of it. Garmin state that it has 16 hours of battery life.
Another thing I like about it, is that it works well with my Garmin Epix watch. It vibrates on my wrist and then I look at the Radar Display Unit to see how many cars there are and their speed.
Makes riding a bit easier I think.

Works just fine DG. Glad I sprung for it. I'll continue to use the 315 as a backup/spare until the battery expires. Thanks again!
Mrs DG now uses the old 315. So we both have Radars now.Works just fine
