I'm not familiar with LiIon, but with NiCad chargers will refuse to charge a dead battery. I just manually put in a small charge to get the terminal voltage up to an acceptable level then the charger finishes the job. I have some really dead NiCads that respond to this treatment. Safety precautions recommended.
