Actually, I routinely remove recently deadened (is that a word??) batteries and replace them, and it seems to often work for one last gasp discharge (maybe two) - don't rub them on my shirt, tho. Don't know why it works, but it does. I can think of household items that I do this with when they run out - TV remote, nose-hair clippers (yes, I said that), cell phone, etc. With the traditional cylindrical, alkaline batteries, rotating them in place along their long axis, or changing the order of them in a multi-battery device, allows for a few additional discharges.
It would be interesting to hear what a battery expert might have to say about this.
