HI, I was tired of having to charge my front light and my Garmin Varia radar 515 constantly.
The Garmin varia eRTL615 is too expensive but seems very convenient to me. However, it seems to be designed only for Bosch and Shimano ebikes and I haven't found any info about anyone using it with a turbo levo (or, in general, with brose motors). Reading the tech specs and this forum, I found that the rear port of my turbo levo gen3 was designed for only 1.2W (12V@0,1A) and the eRTL615 has an expected consumption of 1.5W.
So, what I've done is to install and connect both the Supernova light M99 mini pro (impressive max 21W light) and the Varia 615 to the front port (12V@2A) that has enough power for these 2 devices. I've already installed everything and It is perfect! and the 615 works great with the Mastermind TCU and...no more need of charging the front light or the radar, I just have to charge my turbo levo!!
I just wanted to share this, just in case someone else was thinking about a similar installation. If you have any doubts, I'm here to help.
