I seem to recall reading before that you can put dead (ie I've left it too long too many times on the mains with the battery in) batteries by placing them in the freezer.

I plan on buying a new one anyway but wondered if this does work as I might as well try with the old one and have a spare.

I take it you need to put it in a plastic bag to prevent moisture by how long should you leave it in there for?

Cheers,
