I've had very good luck using Battery Reset to return batteries to life. Will it work for you? Dunno, but the best candidates seem to batteries that are completely unrecognized by the PB. I revived 4 or so that showed _no_ life at all. The one battery that wouldn't revive was the one that _did_ show up but never charged past a single blinking light.
Now mind you, a couple of those revived aren't exactly towers-of-power in terms of useful life but at least they are once more _useful_. However the other two are 3-4 hour runners, all-in-all quite a jump in value from the lumps of plastic and lithium I was ready to toss into a junkbox.
