Well let's just say that I find the retailer's version of events difficult to believe. It would be just amazing if something pierced the (quite hefty) packing material and the metal underside of the power supply casing... and that I just didn't notice any sign of damage at all. OK, I wasn't particularly on the lookout for anything, but I just can't imagine missing something so obvious. My feeling is that the battery was either defective from the off, or was damaged during transit in a less traumatic way than was suggested by the retailer. In either case I'd like to have some assurance of battery resilience before accepting another PP+3000.

But your explanation of its poor performance without the battery connected makes sense. It's good to know that the battery is an integral part of the design even in normal use.
