One oddity in the manual is a stern warning that any replacement battery
must be not only the right specification, which is of course correct, but
also the right *make* because anything could cause damage.

Could the manufacturer have done a sneaky deal with Duracell, I wonder?

Not sure how a crude device like this could tell what make of battery
you've fitted.

It's not like a printer that has 'smart' chips in the replacment ink
cartridges.

Just the typical nonsense you get in the instructions for many such
things. Generic instructions they use on everything they make.
