You have nickel-metal-hydride in the traction battery as well as an AGM lead acid battery, right?. Given lithium's reputation for fire, I would not try to charge it in the Prius system. Maybe a DC-DC charger like this one? https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-Batter.../dp/B07Q4SVX3M

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
