Edit: I failed to notice these were "high capacity" and would prefer standard capacity.

What has happened is this: the battery drained to about ~0.6 - 0.7 Volts, where most of the chargers will not charge the battery because the patient is "dead" or no longer "recognized".
If you do not know how to "revive" a dead re-chargeable with another good battery and two wires (search youtube) try getting a charger that is able to "revive" a discharged battery, and the only one I know it is able to do so is Nitecore D2/D4. I have 4 chargers and two Nitecore, i4 and d2, but only the last one is "defibrillator".
In the past 10 years I have been using almost 100 AA/AAA re-chargeables and I ended up discarding only about two or three of them that I was not able to revive. I have many brands including no-names like RayHom, Tenergy, EBL and of course many amazon and eneloop and I still have to see one eneloop going down to 0.7V... but I'm using Tenergy in my mole chaser device and sometimes I forgot to replace them so they were all at 0.6V, but I was always able to revive them and they still hold a charge almost like 7 years ago when I got them (yes, I just checked amazon orders).
Conclusion: do not discard NiMh re-chargeables when they do not charge, instead try to revive them.
P.S. this does not apply to Li-Ion rechargeables!

Any recommendations for a good battery reviver. I have an older OPUS BT-C2400 and there have been a few batteries I couldn't bring back to life.

As I said, I can vouch for Nitecore D2, but if you have only a few batteries, try using a good one and two wires. Only once I was able to revive with wires a battery that could not be revived by D2.
