[clarifying for posterity]
Well, give it more charging time before it DOES get too hot which might
get the battery charged enough that the Newt recognizes it's not totally
dead. This doesn't revitalize a battery, but might be useful to get a
battery that hasn't been used for years (or never used) functioning. If
you need this with a battery used anytime in the prior year or two, it's
time to recell instead.

slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting for him to
mature.
