Any way to restore a UPS battery?

Any way to restore a UPS battery? I have an older APC UPC, and the battery appears to be dead. It appears to be a small, lead-acid 12 battery - is it possible to revive the battery?

"The Battery University site is a good resource for various batteries.
How to restore and prolong lead-acid batteries and
Charging the lead-acid battery.
Another reference -- Alton's Battery Page.

But, I'd just replace them (like I have once with my APC).

A Good reference page at BU."

"you can try to revive a Lead-Acid with a pulse charger.

one of the great disadvantages of Lead-Acid batteries: they cannot be stored in a discharged condition (the cell voltage should never drop below 2.10V)"
