Macbook Pro Battery stuck in 0% limbo

Well, after letting my laptop sleep for too long, the battery gave up the ghost and wouldn't recharge. It was plugged in but the battery remained on 0% for longer than normal.

I tried a reboot, but that didn't work, so I tried what had worked once before:
shutting down, taking the battery out, replacing it and pressing the test light button to see the green indicator light. Then plugged in the power and waited for 15 mins before booting up.

Viola! It worked.

One more tip for future reference - Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
