Priussses have a very small, weak battery for normal uses, which gets recharged when the car computer gets around to it. Mine died today because I started the car, turned off the ac, lowered the windows, and then turned off the engine. Lowered windows drained it.
Waiting for aaa to get here, they have 15 minutes before they Lose Big.
Will need to take car in tomorrow or saturday, I suppose.

I was parked at the farthest point in the parking lot from the entrance, as part of my attempt to force myself to walk more. Thus, while there was a pair of high-voltage substations nearby (which bridge grid power into two of the five buildings in the central-hub of Intel's Jones Farm campus) there was no way to safely tap them to power the starter.
The very nice young man (who I believe was Lebanese) with the battery box was able to get me going with minimal trouble, once he found the place I was parked, on that huge campus.
VERY nice young man.
