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

In this same threat, someone stated that the 2007 Prius Battery packs are predicted to start failing around now. Yeah I meant capacity. I'll double check what the app said. I'm curious as to how much this limited capacity affects the MPG I'm able to get.
What was really interesting is you are able to see the actual percentage of charge on the app versus looking at the Prius Info screen. When the app said that my battery was at 55 percent the prius info area was showing a purple battery. Doesn't look like I'm really able to access a large portion of the battery to actually use for hybrid assist.
Has anyone done a battery replacement and then seen a noticable MPG gain?
