a/c compressor cycles too often

Guys,

I have an '09 maxima and i've noticed that the a/c compressor cycles on and off quite often. I was sitting in a parking lot today and noticed it would engage and run for about 10-15 seconds, then shut off for about 10 seconds and then click on again. Is this something I should be concerned with? I was running the a/c on low and its only about 85 deg outside. Could this mean i need to recharge the system?

Thanks for your help!
Wayne
