The Gryphon is VERY dimly flickering while on charge. Should I have disconnected the Gryphon before charging?
Move your headlight switch from "Auto" (11:00 O'clock) to "Off" (straight up). If that doesn't turn the headlights off, I'd disconnect the negative battery cable. I don't think a 2 Amp charger can keep up with the draw from headlights. And yes, don't leave the Gryphon connected.
