Default Battery Cover ?

Do I really need a Battery Cover? Does it serve a purpose, besides hiding the battery?

I just purchased this from Mid Amer. it covers the battery area, but leaves the fuse box exposed to add a cover of your choice.I purchased the Black one , all it is is ABS Plastic, but it covers all them unsightly wires that is around the battery area.
