A good battery that is run down should be able to be recharged back to normal. A bad battery will either not charge up or if it does, it won't function properly when fully charged. I have had trouble re-charging a good battery when it is completely dead. It seems as if a battery needs a little bit of juice to except a charge. Sometimes I will use a pair of jumper cables and hook a completely dead battery up to a fully charged good battery, and then at the same time hook up the battery charger to the dead battery. This seems to somewhat prime the charge to the dead battery, and after a descent charge has been established you can unhook the jumper cables and the fully charged battery and then continue to recharge the low battery. If your deisel has dual battery's and both are fully dead but good battery's, I would disconnect them from tractor and individually charge each one. Also, a dead battery can be freeze damaged in below freezing weather. Most stores that carry battery's will have a battery tester that can test both the charge and load capability of a battery. Everybody claims that trickle charge is better on the battery than the maximum charge, but I believe I would use the maximum charge if trying to prime a charge using another battery. The trickel charge will take a real lenghthy time to fully charge a dead battery (like 24 hours). Just my 2 cents worth.
