OT: "Resurrecting" NiCad batteries Options

[smontanaro]

I have a Ryobi battery-powered drill whose two batteries are -- for all intents and purposes -- dead. While poking around for replacements I came across this site:

http://resurrection.uniquedynami
cs.com/

Is that bogus or for real?

I also came across this:

I suppose it can't hurt to try this one out (it's free and the batteries are essentially dead).

In short, can you "resurrect" a NiCad battery?

Thx,
