If that deep discharge did not warp the plates enough to cause a short, you have a chance. The plates will be badly sulfated, but a charger with a desulfator function can reverse the sulfation over time. You need to slow charge the battery for several days I have a shumacher charger and several of the little batteryMINDer charger /desulfator/ maintainer units that have revived several badly sulfated batteries, returning them to near 100% capacity over time.

It took nearly a month for the batteryMINDer to dissolve the sulfation, but eventually the battery returned to very good cranking power. it ran 3 more years until a cell shorted.
