Aloha Claudia, I have one more thought. My battery charger has a button on it that you slide depending on what kind of battery you are charging. I don't know what would happen if the button was in the wrong position.
When my batteries blew, the store offered to sell me some electrical contact cleaner, but I made them give me a new charger. I had actually brought an example of the kind of battery I wanted and still they sold me the wrong one. However, the store I was in had cameras and the camera clearly showed me giving the guy the battery I'd brought with me.
