Reprogram? dont know what you mean by that, but the easiest way to get a battery back to decent working order is to let it run dry and fully charge it a few times, sometimes known as reconditioning.

Cant say ive ever heard of calibrating a battery its not the kind of thing that needs calibrating, takes a while to recondition a battery but it doesnt require input from you you just leave it running then when it dies stick the power in.
