Luxman spoiled things a bit by making the battery cover out of plastic and in a shade that is different from the metal body. It is the only part of this amplifier that looks anything less than exemplary.

Might this be to try and prevent the batteries shorting?

It shouldn't need to be, if it is properly designed. The remote for my Pathos amp, is made from a single aluminium casting with a stainless steel plate on the bottom. The whole thing looks and feels like a high quality object.
