They are small, and fall out and get lost. Thin plastic tabs that hold
them in place may break off. Lots of reasons. Same reasons they seem
to disapper from remote controls.

Just curious - I notice that some of the radios on eBay are described
as
missing the battery cover. I'm just curious; where do they go? I
can
understand missing manuals, broken antennas, etc. But how do you
lose a
battery cover? Would anyone ever take one off and then set it aside,
instead of putting it back on the radio? Anyone here ever
"misplaced" one?
