I'm unclear however
Does the new charger get too hot? If so the problem is not the charger or the socket.
Does the laptop work with the new charger plugged in but no battery? If so the socket on the laptop is probably ok
Is the actual charger melting or is it just the plug that goes in the laptop that's getting hot, if it is the plug on both chargers then the socket will need repairing or resoldering, they are a weak point, the soldered pins go high resistance and can generate a lot of heat around the plug and socket. Its usually obvious if the socket is faulty because as you move the plug it makes contact intermittently.
DONT USE THE CHARGER THAT'S MELTING and if both are getting hot have the socket repaired.
If only the one charger getting hot the short is probably in the plug on that charger but read on
On a different note the genuine chargers should be over current protected and overheat protected, they should never melt.
I too need the same batteries but Oster stopped making them and now if you want a battery to fit the female part of you set you need to buy a new battery with a new gizmo at the price of over $150 Making what you have worthless and making what you need cost more than two old batteries or a new machine all together. Its a real rip-off.
Any "proper" shop should be aware of the precautions that need to be made when changing over a battery so that none of the items need re-setting. It's not the type of item that should be a "dealer only" repair,
