DaveG-

Even powered on, the Prius is limited in the amount of power it move from the HV pack to the 12V pack. I believe the limit is in the neighborhood of 100W but that's just a foggy memory. At any rate, it's less than could be sucked out into a dead battery in the other car.

Having said that, it's not likely to happen nor to be a problem, just something to worry about :-)
