Resurrect a dead PowerBook battery?

I sold a friend my old Ti 400 last year. (It was only about 3 months old at the time.) After not using it for the past 6 months, he discovered the battery is deader than a door nail and won't charge. I've confirmed this with my 667 Ti - it starts to charge for a few minutes and then indicates there is no battery present. Is there ANYTHING that can bring the battery back to life?
I've already chastised him for leaving the battery in for long periods of non-use and told him he most likely just learned a $130 lesson -- but I thought this question was worth throwing out to the pros.
TIA ... Phil
