One way to get it to recognize is to jump start it. Use an old practice pack, and some alligator clips, and touch the packs together pos to neg and neg to pos, VERY briefly. This will short the two packs, and bring a VERY little bit of voltage back into the dead pack, it might be enough to get your charger to recognise it.

This is relatively dangerous, and be warned, if you do it wrong, you COULD kill one or both of your packs. But it is a way to do it if youre desperate.
