Hi hover tim,
You can revive a single NiCd within a welded pack but the answer to your question depends on what type of battery NiMh or NiCd!

If the batteries are quite old, you will have a considerable task trying to replace a single cell.
I would suggest you bin the pack and invest in a new set.
What voltage and capcity are they?
