    Well....lets see how bad it is in its present state. measure the voltage again with the car off. Write that down. Then turn on the headlights in high beam and measure that voltage. Post them back here.

    If there was only a nominal drain on it when he made that last measurement, he needs to be shopping for a new battery NOW.......because 11.8 with no load is about 70% DISCHARGED. Or 70% dead if you want to look at it that way.

    Just installed a new battery with the help of a mechanic (~$40).

    Do you other Prius owners have any good personal tips on how to NOT forgot the lights inside in the car?
    I assume this has happened to others. Do you keep them OFF at all times?

    Any tips?

    Could you please help me?
    I've never bought anything from Aliexpress :S

    Edit: Would this work for a Prius 2007/2008? I don't want to "blow up" the battery with something too strong or such (I know absolutely nothing about technology here).

    i have left the light on in the past. unfortunately, there is no way to remember, except to remember.
    i try to use it as little as possible, and tell myself to remember when i do.

    It cost about 80$, you can do it your self so easy with a Visa card. And the details you can ask directly seller, i''m not in the same country with you, so how can i help you ?
