I don't know what 54% health means. Is that a measure of capacity compared with the rated new capacity? That doesn't seem very good to me because that doesn't mean you have half the life left. I'm guessing the car will fail to drive way before reaching 0%.

No idea how effective external chargers are for preserving hybrid batteries.
