A rechargable battery needs to have a voltage applied to it to effect a charge. There are many "old wives tales" about refrigerating, freezing, heating, sunlight exposing, etc to charge non-rechargable and rechargable batteries. None of these exposures to temperature extremes really work - although many believe they do.
If a rechargable battery fails to recharge, it is because the oxidation state has made a change that is beyond the intended reversible conditions. Moderate temperature change exposures are not likely to address the problem.

Not if the type of battery will be damaged by lowering its temperature to that of your freezer.
Buy a new one or if it is not lead acid try discharging it all the way down and then charge it again. Some batteries have what people call memory when they are only partially discharged they don't charge to 100 percent of their rated value.

batteries and cold are not a good mix. Think of what happens to car batteries when they are cold overnight in the winter.
