The Prius Pack has relays inside the case so there should not be any voltage at the points that the cables connect. When the car goes "ready" you can hear these pick. Plus, there is an interlock that you can pull that disconnects the pack in the center making sure that there is no voltage at the output connections. Its pretty safe with the interlock pulled but the gloves are a good idea. I've rebuilt a number of packs in the past, I've got electricians gloves but never used them! I'm not sure on the Prius V but the Gen II uses a spot on the interlock to release the cover over the main cable connections. Good Luck! Cool build!
