Though I would not be able to speak for anyone else I believe that what you saw was probably referring to connecting the 12 volt hot lead to the auxiliary battery on a hybrid.

However, it is strongly recommended when installing Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11141820 on your 2018 Toyota RAV4 hybrid to the main battery in the front of the vehicle.
