Remote control system

A battery-powered remote control system comprising:

• a housing,
• a battery compartment disposed in the housing, and
• a removable cover lid that closes the battery compartment, wherein the cover lid is held in place by at least one permanent magnet on the housing of the remote control system;
• at least one ferromagnetic counterpart which is a metal disk or a metal ring that is positively anchored by injection in a carrier part and features on its outer circumference a radial groove, whereby the carrier part is attached to a flat cover plate;
• and
• a battery receptacle comprising a recess in the area of the at least one magnet;
• wherein the cover lid features, in the area of the associated ferromagnetic counterpart, a protrusion surrounding the at least one ferromagnetic counterpart, which protrusion is adapted to positively engage with said recess of the battery receptacle;
• wherein in the assembled state, a gap is present between the battery receptacle and the carrier part to assure that an edge of the cover plate is in contact with a face side of a frame of the housing;
• and
• wherein in the assembled state, an outer side of the cover plate is flush with an outer side of the frame.
