Daox printed my shift knob. Natalya can provide the circuit board for feeding the ECU a 2mph signal; I think there's a post in the For Sale section on here. The clutch and brake switch mods are dead simple but if you need help, there are good guides on InsightCentral.

Toyota hybrid batteries discharge just the same, and it can cause imbalance in Toyotas too. It's also easier on the batteries to very gradually bring them back up to operating range. You don't physically damage the battery by letting it sit, but rather, by bringing it back into operation abruptly. PLUS, if a Prius battery drains, the car is dead weight and can't be driven. Honda hybrids, for all of their battery woes, can actually be driven without them.

That grid charger will work fine. Or, I could assemble one for less. I can easily option in a discharger option... helps some failing batteries, not others. I don't see anything wrong with the MaxxVolts option.
