Sometimes it is possible to shock the cell back into right polarity.

Would that turn -0.9V into +0.9V, or would it be part of a recharging operation?

What I've done sometimes is take a 100 uF capacitor, charge it to 4..5 times the nominal EMF of the recalcitrant cell, and discharge the capacitor to the cell, at its nominal polarity. Repeat a couple of times, and then recharge.

The procedure will either rejuvenate the cell or render it rather completely hopelessly defunct.
