    it's not the humidity, it's the old cells and the sitting unused. they self drain quickly

    You need to give that Prius to a family member that has to drive everyday and get yourself a Yaris or an Aprilia scooter and be done I'm telling you you'll love life a lot better but you can keep doing what you're doing whatever makes you happy. I have all three of those options here and the Prius gets driven every day because if it doesn't things start compounding and happening fairly quickly The scooter and the Yaris can sit without issue but the Prius not so much.
