Got the battery put back together and roughly put back in the car. Hooked it up and viola! No lights for now. My next step is to go ahead and fix the water leaks into the car and drive it around to get it inspected.
Haha interesting. I also acquired a 2008 Prius from Government Salvage Auction. $1198usd - $1570cdn. 156k miles - 246k kilometers. Went to pick it up, had to boost it, got it running , thankfully no red triangle or CEL. No issues so far, other than needs front wheel bearing, brake rotors, pads. Parked for the winter, will wait till spring to work on it.
