St Augustine SC AMP fluxuation

I've supercharged dozens of times and have seen this behavior just once, and at a supercharger that worked correctly two days later on my return trip. It was a 4 stall supercharger (Lumberton, NC) and I took the only open stall when I arrived, so fully loaded. The charge started out slow as would be expected, but then started rolling the amps up and down, even after the car on the same charging pair left, it still rolled up and down. It was a hot day, but not incredibly hot. Have no idea why, but just chalked it up to some type of temp/power anomaly.

Last time I stopped there was on the way back from MD in April. There was an electrician working on some of the SC's. He said the amperage output was low on them. I'd just come down from the Savannah SC where 3 of the stalls were only outputting 80 amp max. Maybe they have random long term problems with both locations?

I saw it also once at St. Augustine SC.

Only guess is, either a thermal event (getting too hot in the battery suddenly) or some external power issue with utility.

Here's how it looks with real data:

Kalud - how did you produce that graph & chart?

Using the REST api (same as the smartphone app uses). I am a user of this site that saves the data 24/7 to a database. So you can check your charging sessions, trip, etc.
