Until it is fully thawed it will not take a charge, bigger the battery the longer it will take to thaw out.
48 hours in the basement is good for most.
I had one last winter in a salvage truck I bought about an hour away.
Cold stone dead and swollen.
Boosted truck to get it running and drove it home one hour, even though the truck has a 145 amp alternator after I shut it off not even a dome light would come on.
Pulled battery thawed in basement for 2 days then charged it up.
Used this battery all year in the yard truck and it still started the truck in minus 40 last week.
If the battery is a good one before being discharged and frozen I would say 80% of the time you can save them.
If it was junk before it was frozen 100% of the time it will still be junk.
