So I guess that sort of situation could only arise if manufacturers are producing cheap/clone batteries and chargers: you can't generally swap chargers or overcharge batteries, because the charger plug is unique to the brand, and genuine chargers contain the necessary protection circuitry.

It could just be the same connector type, e.g. I once plugged in a 9V charger into a 5V port that had same connector. Poof. Fried that electronic device.
