    Hey - it's good practice, for when you have a really REALL dead battery.

    2010 Manual says (p. 30):
    As the gasoline engine or regenerative brake charges the hybrid battery
    (traction battery), the battery does not need to be charged from an
    outside source. However, if the vehicle is left parked for a long time the
    hybrid battery will slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the
    vehicle at least once every several months for at least 30 minutes or 10
    miles (16 km). If the hybrid battery becomes fully discharged and you are
    unable to jump-start the vehicle with the 12 volt battery, contact your
    Toyota dealer.
