    Does anyone know if the 12V battery outlet is also interconnected to the hybrid battery system? I am trying to figure out if you could take a charged battery that i could charge from my home and extend the hybrids battery charge? Any help?

    I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to do but I'll take a stab...

    The traction battery (200 Volt) is used to charge the 12 volt system via a DC to DC inverter. An additional 12 volt battery could, in some situations, be useful. but it will have no effect on the traction battery, other than to draw a little more current to keep it charged.

    If you are trying to charge the 200 volt battery by plugging a 12 volt battery into the accessory outlet, then the answer is no, it won't work.
