want to get some replacments as they are definitely stuffed.

Do we think it's safe to assume that the manufacturer's FAQ is just
revenue-protecting, arse-covering ********, or is there any genuine reason
why I shouldn't just go ahead and order the new battery?

Just do it. As long as the battery type is the same then the only
problem would be sub standard cells - and that only really counts for
LiIon. Couple of boggo tagged NiMHs? Ridiculous amount of fuss on the
M/F website.
