Found cl_battery_dlights, which is already enabled, so we may indeed have to create those entities (this will take up slots though).

all this cvar does is enable/disable render for the lights. iicr, with suit chargers you need to spawn new charger if cl_suitcharg_light_on was 0 when you spawned charger, with battery you don't need to spawn new battery. i assume that MP just don't spawn lights for batteries for some reason.
