Am guessing the remote control button battery cover isn't compliant with new regulations?

Same. Though oddly enough, European sizes are 1.5 times the foot length in cm. So 30cm = size 45. No idea why; probably makes some sense to...

Thanks, got one. Worth noting that it doesn't have a child safe battery cover, which is probably why it's on sale. Don't get one if you...
