On my Gen 2, there is a stick that can prop the panel above the battery in
the raised position. I had not noticed for a very long time, and just
removed the whole floor panel for access.

What year is your Prius? I have seen 2004-2009 referred to as Gen 3 in the
far east and Gen 2 in N. America.

Yes, I am sure. I wrote about the big hatch which covers are all the
batteries, the motor, the tanks, etc.
It should be opened before doing anything with the car internals.
There is a stick which keeps it opened.
(There is also a small hatch above the 12V battery, which I opened
also.)

By auxiliary battery, I mean the 12 V battery, as opposed to the
201.5V one. As far as I understand, Prius has two
different batteries.
