Batteries plus probably could help actually. If you're not charging them up every couple months during the off season and they lose their full charge and sit that will kill them. That doesn't mean to keep them on a trickle charger for a long period of time though. Lead acid batteries can also be reconditioned to at least a percentage of new capability but it takes a reconditioner or at least a charger that can be set to charge it slowly over the course of a day, day and a half. It's not guaranteed.
Lithium doesn't like being 100% charged all the time while lead doesn't have as much of a problem with it. No batteries do good being completely dead of course.
I like to charge my ice season batteries when I do other stuff that happens yearly, so it's sure to happen every couple months.
Don't bet your safety on a reconditioned battery though. Also, that battery you're talking about is a goner, like others have said. No need to go out and get a fancy charger for that one.
