You may be able to "recondition" your batteries. I've seen it suggested
that you freeze your battery, or charge it for a long time, or other such
suggestions. (I'm not going to list them all here.) You'll have to do a
Google Search.
You're unlikely to get a lot more out of your batteries, but you might
get some more.
