A hit (sometimes) or miss (often) method that I have had tempered success with in the past is to begin the process with Apple's Intelligent (hah!) Battery Reconditioner before passing on to EMMpathy to finish the job.
Connect Ye PB to the (already) active adapter and boot it. Withdraw the PB's batteries each about 1cm. Open IBR. When the app. whinges that there is no battery in the righthand bay, click the battery into place. If the denizens of Olympus are feeling benign, the app. will launch into its opening quiz of the battery. If said doO are actually feeling benevolent, the app. will do a precharge of the batt. before interrogating it further. If the app. then invites you to return the battery to Apple (as if ...), do the whole again. Five times. If still no go, put the batt. aside for another day, or for recelling.
If the doO are also beneficent, the battery will then take a charge. Give it half-an-hour. If it does not conflagrate in that time because of dead shorts, quit EBR and launch EMMpathy. Do the Sleep Drain Bugfix, look at the battery data table for the starting parameters so that you will know whether charging for a time has produced any improvement, especially in mAh of retained charge. The completion of the process can be speeded up if you have a second adapter and an external VST SmartCharger 500, but not everyone has ...
The essence of the deal is to get enough charge into the batt. with IBR first for it to be able to do a Sylvester and have its brain re-ordered by EMMpathy. But the batt. has to rilly, rilly wish to be resuscitated.
