I have a lithium battery which lasts about a tenth of what it should due to its age. Is there any way of restoring this back to how is should be?
 
Is this rechargeable battery? Even they will die or lose their ability to recharge eventually after a certain number of uses, I would just throw it away/recycle it. I'm not aware of any way to fix them once they're old. Thats why they sell replacements for laptops, cell phones, etc- the batteries do not last forever.

If it is not rechargeable or you're not sure then just dispose of it. There's no way to recharge or add extra life to a disposable battery and accidentally trying to charge a disposable battery can make it explode/split open.

Only if it is a rechargeable. Then you need to drain it (some cameras etc. now have a discharge function built in for this purpose) and recharge it back to a full charge.
