Except they actually haven't, yet:
Chairman Hersman said that potential causes of the initiating short circuit currently being evaluated include battery charging, the design and construction of the battery, and the possibility of defects introduced during the manufacturing process.

A quality control issue in manufacturing? Something unknown about the physics of flight or the interplay between various electrical systems that reduces the safety margin? Unknown at this time.
