I simply connected the motorcycle batteries in parallel but diode-isolated frpm the NimH Prius battery and then only charged the motorcycle batteries since the Prius maintained the nimh.
But then kids started driving and I converted 3 salvage priuses and caught the solar one on fire by forgetfully overcharging the nimh and since I had proved my point and did NOT have the time to build a 240v solar charger that was quad-redundant safe (over voltage, over current, over temp and over pressure) I disconnected the series connected 15 panels and connected them in parallel to the 12v battery only for field operations from12v.
