Using product specs I get you are using are drawing about 1A. 2.2 amps when transmitting. What when showing 12.4 amps what does your voltage drop to while transmitting, if not using a low power radio, you may not be transmitting anything readable, although I suspect if the voltage dropped to0 low the LIFEPO4 circuitry would just be shutting everything down. Could be rather annoying to have everything reset when you push the transmit button.
I believe the 15AH battery is the larger size battery similar in size the a 12Ah Lead Acid. Some gliders it is difficult to mount this size of battery.

Hi Brian,
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the 12AH lead battery. I have the smaller standard size, also in LiFePO4 as a back-up battery. I had readable radio transmissions upon landing. Nothing cut out. The battery information says it has a protection circuit to turn it off when it is depleted. The battery output is 14.2 volts when fresh off the charger.
It has been a very happy experience using these new batteries. And, they are very light.
