The specifications for the battery sound fine and the two cells match very nicely in the discharge curve, but a internal fuse blows at 15A discharge current





The battery is not hot on the outside when the fuse blows.









Conclusion

The batteries looks fine at low current (That is 10A), but something is wrong with the current rating or the batteries. The overload fuse burns out way below rating.
