There is a possibility that there might be something out there that can instill life back into a Ryobi battery, but it’s slim. How come you have 3 dead? are they stone cold dead, if so that could be your charger malfunctioning, because It’s unlikely that all three a just dead, if they are wearing out they still will take some charge, even a dead one will give you a small charge. I’ll just bet that the charger tip end needs replacing, is all, it’s not making a good contact with the battery base, thus no charge. I have a couple of Ryobi’s and that was the problem I had with mine not charging.I cut off the tip, spliced on a new one and I was good to go. Is the red lite illuminating when you plug it in to charge? It should.

Better buy a new one. After a battery dies theres no way use it again.
