This suggests you are drawing about 1.5 amps from your battery, which is
very high, even for a glider with a transponder. Is that right? Can you
reduce the drain safely by turning something off?


If you are really drawing 1.5 amps and can't reduce it, I'd suggest first
putting in another (or bigger) battery. Cheaper and easier, I think.

If you measure your actual current draw, and it really is 1.5 amps, consider
testing for a "partially" shorted wire somewhere!
A few strands could make a difference.
