Great news!
We've only had one or two Prius batteries fail in the fleet I work for, they were covered by warranty so I didn't get to experiment.
We had a couple Hybrid Escapes that sat so long (eight months) they wouldn't start because the traction battery had discharged too much. Ford included a hidden switch that you press and it recharges the traction battery enough from the 12 volt battery to start the engine, it only takes about eight minutes.
