Load testing is the way to go.
It tests the battery itself instead of guesstimating with the charging system voltage output reading.
JMHO
Peace!

I was a little woried the other day about why my Gryphon was not on I checked the fuse and it was allright,then I got really scared about what might be wrong. I unpluged the obd cord and plugged it back in everything worked again

(I didn't care for going back to stock settings either)I will keep an eye on the battery.

You MAY have a weak battery too. If this "failure" occurred after starting, you most likely had a low voltage condition while cranking, enough to make the Gryphon think it was unplugged. Then, when the voltage came back up due to the alternator, the Gryphon was already plugged in, so it couldn't initialize properly.

Unplugging it and plugging it back in with healthy voltage at the OBD port allows it to reboot properly. I'd have my battery load tested if I were you.
