This video shows you how to manually force charge your hybrid battery to the highest point possibly. This will help you figure out if you need a new hybrid battery or if a grid charger will fix your problem. Here are the steps to take:
Disconnect 12V battery (-) cable for 10 seconds
Reconnect 12V battery (-) cable
Start car
Allow car to charge IMA at engine dle. Do not drive.
Continue idling until charge stops.
Repeat 3 times.
Repeat every hour for 8-10 hours

When your battery gauge stops assist or charging The gauge behavior is described is a "negative recalibration".
It results from imbalance in the 132 cells in the battery. The pack is monitored in 11 places. One or more of the 11 voltages drops too low during assist. The car terminates assist, drops the gage to 2 bars at 1 bar per second.
It will then almost completely disable assist and begin force charging. After some time, one or more of the 11 voltages indicates "full" thus triggering a "positive recalibration" where charging is terminated, and the gauge goes to 8 bars at 1 bar per second. A positive recalibration does not always occur after a forced charge, but when they do, it indicates a very imbalanced and deteriorated battery.
