I forgot that one, so I edited the list.
The name came about because when it was first introduced it had a tendency to burn up battery boxes and catch on fire.

A friend worked at an extremely high scientific level on that problem. The last I recall (I'm working off a fairly vague memory here), they could not establish a resolvable cause and so they created an acceptable workaround.
Knowing the academic and scientific background of my friend, and after having heard the little bit of the specifics of the issue he was able to share, I was surprised to learn his team couldn't nail it down better than that.
