I wonder if disconnecting the Gryphon before trying to jump start a vehicle might not be a bad idea? Once the cables are connected, there shouldn't be any problem, the system is then simply seeing what a "normal" system would see with a functioning alternator. But that voltage/current "surge" when connecting might be a bit of a problem?

Seems to me I've read about some instances of jumpstarting vehicles damaging some of the installed electronics in them. This was a few years back, though and I'd expect if that was an issue that protection has been added. Maybe though, the Edge circuitry doesn't have this protection?
