This is why we use a power supply, not a charger, when doing programming.

A power supply supplies a constant voltage to the vehicle. A charger supplies a sine wave voltage that is truncated on the negative side. That means it has very short bursts of charging voltage, and off time. Have seen several computers bricked while programming using just a charger.
