Unhappy Re: Dead battery problems?

We have the same problem in our 08 Prius. We suggest that Toyota use a bigger starter battery, and/or somehow use the hybrid battery as a backup if the 12v goes dead. We have had times when the hybrid battery was fully charged, yet the 12v was dead cold and we had to jump start the car.

In fact, we purched a small battery pack to jump start the car, as it sits long periods of time.
