The battery fluid on my sump pump Marine Deep Cycle Battery dried up to be completely gone.

I've replaced it with distilled water. Will the trickle charger bring it back to life, or am I in the market for a new battery?

UPDATE: the battery did not come back to life. Given that I didn't want to fuss with adding water in the future, I purchased an AGM battery from the company that makes the pump. It was comparable in price to AGMs at the local auto parts store.
