Is my PB battery dead?

Refuses to charge - power adapter indicator ring stays green, battery icon shows 0%.

My spare battery charges fine in this PB, and the dud battery won't work in our other PB either.

I've reset the power management (which was the only thing I could find in 20 mins googling)

Mucho thanks for any help

Yep, it's dead.
