If your measuring 1.2 volts with a multi-meter then its really probably only going to be good for the dump!
If its been like it for a while then seriously its dead, if it was charged immediately for a good 48Hours+ on a proper charger, not a small maintenance type one, then it might be recoverable but it will have severely shortened the life of the battery.

HI, do you mean 12volts if so that should be ok.
If you really mean 1.2 volts you have a problem.

Take it down the scrap metal yard
You will get between £5-£10 for it
