Soldier Systems has a blurb about the "new" Aimpoint M5 with battery compartment on bottom, not top. I wonder when they will be available?

So the bottom of the body is a lot lower than the other Comp5.
I’m really digging this. No battery in my FOV. I love it.

Came here to post about this. On my buy list.

I've spent a few moments over the years notionalizing on the battery compartment position, and it really can be in the way no matter where it's located... depending on what you are looking at. For example if you had an intruder at gunpoint, the low battery compartment could be occluding his hands if the dot is center mass.
The upside to this design, in my opinion, is the reduced top end bulk. My battery compartment cap takes a regular beating and the finish is well worn. I don't mind it, but reducing the top side bulk is nice.

I like the M5 over the T2 because of where the knob is and it's crisp not mushy adjustments, the protective objective lens, and AAAs give a longer run time.
