Last two weeks battrey drained, is it possible to recover one of these battries or is it bin job?
 
yes you can recover them.

A mate had a fault on his car that drained the Westco AGM battery (same type as the Odyssey). Initially his intelligent charger said the battery was dead. I suggested he connect another battery in parallel to the Westco and restart the charger.

This time the charger went through the initial test and started to charge the battery. After a minute or two the parallel battery was disconnected and, quite some time later, the Westco was fully charged.
 
A lead-acid battery that has been totally flattened for two weeks is goosed.
It may appear to have recovered but the total capacity will have been permanently reduced.
