That is very nearly dead. You are skating on thin ice with that battery.

I tried to find one with 12.00 volts, but they seem to prefer 10% increments. Anyway your battery had 45% of whatever capacity it has left available when you tested it. If it's a 30AH (?) OEM Leaf battery, that would be less than 7 usable AH, because of internal resistance. Given the age of the battery, it's probably more like 3AH.
