How do they not even know the brand and model? Even if it is destroyed, you would think the owner at least knows what they bought or where they bought it. Sounds lazy.

The article points to people mixing and matching. A person on a budget cheaping out on a battery probably isn't going to have a receipt detailing what brand it was, and the shop who irresponsibly sold it to them will keep tight lips. Assuming they even bought it from a legitimate shop.

Yeah, mixing and matching chargers is a bad idea. That makes sense.

Well mostly they would have bought it from ebay or amazon, I would imagine.
