laptop batteries

I found some good advice here on trying to revive a “dead” laptop battery. I unfortunately left my battery alone for about 1 year. No charge can hold at this time in the battery. I saw in the last discussion that by passing a 100 ohm resistor over the battery and using a bench charge to force current into the battery, I can probably make it come back. It’s still a new battery. How can I hook up a resistor to the battery? Do I take it to a specialized shop? Please advise. Thks.
