Same reading each time. So I am looking for inconsistencies like the one that popped up today. If the inconsistency can be reproduced, there is a better chance that the problem can be isolated and corrected or avoided.

Yes. The power meter can definitely be a good tool, but it is important to understand what it really is: a software calculation based on information that the system has about its hardware state. I have determined that the power meter can be wrong at times. An actual power/current meter between the battery and the device would be better.
