I believe it's not possible to simply charge the Prius battery without doing something to the computers, too. It uses a type of battery whose voltage doesn't reveal the state of charge, the computer has to "guess" how much it's charged based on how much it takes out and puts in, so if you're charging it, you're going to completely throw off the system.
