Dead DVX battery, or is it?

Many months ago I purchased a DVX100 from the DVXUSER marketplace. It came with 2 batteries and since I have had it, only one of them has been able to work.

The one not working is a 3500mAh, part number B-9557. It won't charge and will not power up the camera for even a second. Is this battery dead or this there a way to revive it? I've heard ways of discharging the the battery fully to reset the memory, but I believe they where referring to standard AA's.

Anyone else encounter this problem and have found a solution? I've just purchased the $79 5600mAh from the usershop but it would be nice to have this as a backup.
 
No good news there, Li-Ion batteries do not have memory; they are not made to be fixed. It sounds like it is pretty old (3500maH capacity), normal lifespan is anywhere in the 2-3 years range, anything beyond is a bonus.
