I remember reading in the owners manual that the car will occasionally re-evaluate or re-calculate the battery current and voltage reading, perhaps this is what you have experienced?

I've seen this cycle happen a few times in my own car while driving.
The IMA system allows the battery to drain to about half by cutting off all hidden charging.
It keeps the level at half for a short time then turns on the charge again.

.

Efficient drivers do it better.
