    Oh too bad was hoping it was a G2 charger since it was found in your G2.

    Still valuable I guess. Post it for sale in the sale section there's still some G1 owners still out there.

    Interesting. Too bad Ken@Japan (@ken1784) is no longer posting here.

    It can be powered by a 12V battery? That would make it handy for rescuing stranded Prii.

    The mounting brackets imply that it is the permanently installed onboard charger from the first generation Prius.

    It looks to me like it has been modified to plug in to the Gen 2 Prius. But it probably puts out a higher voltage than for the Gen 2. So if you tried to fully charge the battery, it might overcharge and destroy the battery.
