    I’m debating looking into buying a HV battery charger like the procharger/balancer. Is this something I should use for regular maintenance on my 2010 Prius.
    I’m averaging 34 driving interstate to and from work at 70-75 trying to baby the pedal as much as possible.
    I haven’t downloaded and tried dr Prius yet. Just curious if this work or am I just delaying buying a new battery before long.
    EGR is cleaned new plugs new head gasket with valves redone while apart.

    Also debating if there’s anywhere to rent one of this chargers instead of buying outright.

    The Prolong worked for me. It will take about 3 days to do it correctly. But worth it.
    If you drive 65mph, the mpg will go up a lot.

    I got mine as a preventative measure, so I can’t note any improvements. 2013 Prius and my performance and MPG remains consistent after 100K.
