dead short ...why? 900

Battery suffered a dead short apparently today. New battery in place and all seems good again. My question is this: I had never even heard of this until 2 years ago when it happened to my 850, it happened today with my 960 -both 1996 models. The first time it was explained as a defective battery, but now I'm wondering...especially since the battery in the 960 is (was) only about 20 months old. How common is this malady? Does something --or lack of something-- encourage batteries to go all of a sudden? Thanks for your insights.
