Re: Original charger (or at least a good one)?
It can also be caused by physical damage to the battery such as bending it by putting it in a jean pocket.
And that is a fault of the designer of the end equipment; the battery compartment should be designed to provide adequate protection to the battery according to the Material Safety Data Sheets that I read for Lithium batteries many years ago.
One can argue that liability is shared due to the fact that the user (possibly) damaged it, but the designer/manufacturer has a good share of the responsibility.
