The more I read the more I think this is a blind alley and a fools errand to do this. Where I live I have temperatures half the year at less than 60 degrees F. So the batteries will be weaker in LEAD ACID configuration.
Also reading that the weight of the kits for a Pruis knock off about 10% of the MPG when in ICE mode. I think I might be better invested to get a cheap Geo Metro and optimize MPG.
