charged my RTL515 and at the end of a six hour ride it was constantly disconnecting from my edge 1050. Edge had plenty of battery left. Should the battery be depleting this early? Is there any kind of indicator of remaining battery life?

    There are third-party apps that give you the ability to view battery status

    I use both of the following ConnectIQ data fields;
    Smart Bike Lights and also Tail Light Field.

    I would recommend Tail Light Field if you only want to see your battery and also control light modes on your device.

    Unfortunately, detailed battery info, as in percentage, is not possible. But your garmin should give you a low battery warning, after which you should have around an hour of riding left before it should shut off.

    Perhaps your Varia battery is defective causing the device to shut off before the Edge knows it's low on power.
