Haha we figured you out.

A Gen 2 Prius came in and said the center console power plugs was not working.  We checked all the fuses ... and all was good.    We took a mirror and found a penny inside the cigarette lighter plug    (picture down below).   Coin stuck inside did not allow the chargers to go totally in so it couldn't power up.  Fix... Remove coin and all good.
Our little mirror showed us our little copper friend  the penny inside the power  plug.



Replaced the 12v battery on Prius. (note) must attach memory saver device in the DLC (data link connector) to avoid losing car memory.



Also remove and replace Nissan Altima hybrid battery.  View pictures below.  We used a rebuilt Camry HV Battery.  Must remember to remove the dc dc converter from Altima HV battery to put into the rebuilt Camry Battery for the HV battery to work properly.

Old HV Battery next to rebuilt HV battery
DC/DC Converter from Altima must be transferred into Camry HV battery to work  properly.
Empty spot is where the DC/DC converter needs to go.
Swap completed and done.
