This bonus comes from the Lifecharger trait, which will give you 3 HP for each Lightning Charge you acquire. Furthermore, these are temporary hit points that can build on top of your maximum HP. However, if you get hit by an enemy and lose them, then they are gone. Therefore, they do not permanently increase your HP.
