EVA-3000 Cache Battery Revive

Is that possible to revive a cache battery which status displays orange on the battery?
I have tried to charge them for more then 30hours but the status don´t switch to green. The battery stores in package for more then 6month. Is there any way to get them back online or should I dispose them and buy new ones? These are olny for tests.

Thank you!

No.
Once they have been marked bad, they are gone.

Did you follow correct replacement procdure.

On the 3000/5000.
Shutdown the controller.
Replace both batteries.
restart controller

Spare batteries are just stored in a box.
But they do have an end date.

I don't know for how long they can be stored.
