I don't think that any of the skinny handguards support batteries there is literally no space between them and the outer barrel. It's not a show piece though because you can sell it with some loss obviously. Lots of people are into RS stuff here and it's a drop-in in most cases regarding gbb mp5's.
I bought a cheap clone of that particular handguard and had the same issues. Your best bet is the genuine magpul handguard or if you feel adventurous you could try something like this:

LCT is extremely overpriced crap without mosfet and decent internals. Yes, externally might be superior to others but in 2025 that's simply not enough when a sub 200 pound specna knows pre-cocking and programmable by few trigger pulls.
