Of course it's not something to do intentionally. I was offering an explanation for what may have happened.
It says he owns a 2009 Prius, which I believe is a Gen 3.
Just an idea here, but sulfate crystals can build up between the plates and short the battery. Sometimes, the high amperage of a boost can burn...
I believe the Gen 3 uses an AGM battery, which does not have refillable flooded cells. If it has degraded to the point where it won't take a...
It's not a "trickle charger," It's a battery maintainer. It monitors battery voltage, and applies a top-up charge as needed. NOCO - 2-Amp Smart...
