current peak on the nrf51822

Hi,

I wanted to know the peak current of the nRF51822 chip using the softdevice 130.

I was looking through the documentation and found on the S130_SDS_v2.0.pdf the information on page 81 that the peak current should be between 15 and 16 mA when a packet is being sent/received.

I wanted to know if I can reduce this peak current or if this cannot be changed.

My goal is to power the board using a battery size 10 (meant for hearing aids) which doesn't permit high current peaks for too many times in a small period of time.
