The old "were do I put my registration sticker" problem. According to the section "I. Executive Summary", the battery compartment is OK if it is easily accessible without using a tool.

To grant flexibility to the diverse types of small unmanned aircraft commercially available, the FAA required that the registration number marking be readily accessible and maintained in a condition that is readable and legible upon close visual inspection. The IFR further explained that markings in an enclosed compartment, such as a battery compartment, will be considered readily accessible if they can be accessed without the use of tools.


I had asked the FAA a few days before the shut down this very question and the FAA responded just recently with:
Thank you for contacting the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Support Center. Currently, internal marking of the aircraft is considered acceptable.Sincerely,PaulPLH


Of course the above would be acceptable if accessible without using a tool.
