Pocketwizard Plus II - battery problem?

I've seen references to a "melt-down" problem associated with drained batteries, but haven't found a real description of it.

Can someone explain what's happening and the circumstances under which it occurs, so I can hopefully avoid it?

TIA

I've never had any problems whatsoever with my dozen or so PW Plus/II/Transceivers---over a period of nearly ten years. I use regular Energizers or Duracells. If you aren't using a device for extended periods, you might want to remove the batteries. I've never had to with my PWs....

I believe it can happen with certain of their models. There is a reference here from a digi-tech:
