I was definitely just clamping the car in my driveway. I had the AC on full blast low auto and the radio on extremely high. Forgot the the lights and all that. But I even made sure to kill the hv battery down to two bars and have the engine flick on too.
The key with the Prius though is that it tends to use the hv converter for mostly everything when the car is in ready mode. Not everything but close.
Guys on Priuschat swear the car only uses the 12v for when the car is not in ready mode... But i did see a little bit of draw.
There won't be any difference in fe besides what you might get from dropping battery weight (on the prius), and the life cycles are extremely long on lithium batteries if you set it up correctly.
The big kicker here too is you don't need to power a starter from the 12v battery. The starter for my mustang was a 250a fuse.
