    We have 3 2nd gen Priuses. I want a grid charger/discharger that I can move between the vehicles. I'd like to be able to have it discharge. I have a full electronics lab and mountains of parts decades of electronics experience- so I could certainly build a constant current supply- but if I can buy a grid charger/discharger that does what I need for a few hundred, I'll do it.

    I'm confused when these products mention "discharge ready". I've not found docs on what is needed here. I can certainly build my own discharger, and have done so already in fact.

    Do each of these brands sell a harness that permanently attaches to the car, so you can easily move the charger from car to car?

    Thanks!

    The Prolong equipment has harnesses;).

    We shared the charger and discharger among three members out here, so it'll be similar for you with 3 Prii:).

    And the costs to share among 3 helps(y).
