Do you know which of chose major devices run off 12V vs the HV pack?

Sorry for the late answer. In the NHW11,
all of the systems are run by the DC-DC converter output. In the 04+ I think the A/C
?might? be high voltage but I'm not sure of that. I think for safety they have kept the HV cables the only HV wires in the car.
The 12V deep cycle battery alone does not work very well in the Prius. The load is so much greater than in a regular ice that the voltage drop is too great with one 12V battery. Mind you, I'm using a revived battery for now. I have to get a pair of my fresh batteries in there. I'm going to fork over for a decent 13.8V DC-DC pretty soon because I'm convinced this mini plug in will make a pretty big difference in mileage.
