What the hell do you mean "fragile?" You left the batteries out there
for a YEAR, probably with a parasitic load on them from the gate
electronics.
There is no lead acid battery that can be resurrected from being drawn
completely down to 0 Volts, and held there for months.
I believe the Firefly lead acid batteries would survive. Check out the
technology on their site.

I doubt it. This guy's batteries probably got drawn down to 0 in the
firts month or two. And sat dead from then till now. No lead acid
battery is going to survive that.

There is quite a difference in the plate structure of the Firefly
batteries compared to conventional lead acid batteries. I may Email
the company with an inquiry about deep discharge of their product.

Deep discharge was not the problem. If you re-charge immediately after
deep discharge, there is not much of a problem.
Hoever if you wait several months, even a high quality battery is toast.

Did you read about the Firefly technology, it's a bit different from
conventional lead acid batteries?
