Default Re: can interior car lights drain battery?

Kuroyama, your diagnosis is almost certainly correct. The Prius high-voltage battery cannot be discharged in this way. My only concern is that typically, once lead acid batteries are fully discharged, they have lost some capacity. If the problem does recur you should consider replacing that battery. It is sometimes possible to convince a Toyota shop to replace a 12 v battery under warranty, if your diplomatic skills are good.
