Short answer is "Try it and see"
the genaral result will be: Starting batteries.. Low chance of recovery
Marine/Deep cycle: Medium low chance
True Deep Cycle: Much better chance
Some folks claim AGM are superior (Optima is AGM) to wet cells in this but I've seen no evidence of that.
But try it and see is always the rule.. If it works, You just saved yourself the cost of a new battery (in round figures a C-note)
and you spent, perhaps a dime doing it. That's a thousand to one return on the bet, So risk the dime and see.
