Bob,
As for repair they may clean the compartment and contacts with
something - for alkaline some form of base neutralizer like vinegar
but, once the battery contacts have had the plating eaten off, they
will never work as well. With my PDA, they were not fully
discharged, in fact some new ones out of the same package laying on
the surface on a desk even started to leak and corrode even though
they were within there use date.
There is something with these batteries either how there now made or
what there made of, that must be causing this.

Now it may be that they could claim no fault if
somehow their analysis says the cell was left
installed long after it was depleted. I.e., flash
lights, radios, etc inadvertently left on or
perhaps the auto off feature isn't working, etc.
