08 Prius doesn't start from the small battery, so capacitors aren't necessary or even desirable. A small lithium battery would be more appropriate, preferably from a safe chemistry (LTO, LiFePO4). I would say minimum 10Ah.

There is a cheaper version which lacks a balance circuit. You may be fine without it.
