There's the Hawken webseries that starts next year:
One series I CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH is Armored Trooper VOTOMS. It's one of the more realistic robot animes (well, up until the end), and there are no flashy moves or actually invincible pilots - even the genetically engineered super-soldiers can lose to an elite soldier. The mechs are also FAR from invincible - while they're pretty mobile they can get taken down by infantry with RPGs. Most of the series takes place on the surface, but the only clip I could find was one of the few space battles. No flashy moves here - the main character actually gains the advantage by just planting himself so he can aim properly while the other guys just kind of float around and are sluggish to change direction:
Some more, since there is a video clip limit:
The original Gundam series compilation movies were good, as was Gundam Zeta (it's sequel). The mechs aren't quite as stompy, but they're nowhere near the zippy acrobats piloted by invincible protagonists that the more recent series have. Here's a clip from Zeta to give you an idea if you might like it or not:
Blue Comet SPT Layzner kind of fits, although it does have an alien invasion. It might fit the bill. It's made by the guy that did VOTOMS, too. I couldn't find a good clip, but here's the wikipedia link if you want to check it out.

My last recommendation is Gasaraki. It's another one I'm not really sure is similar enough to battletech, but does have pretty realistic robots (though there is some background mystic stuff going on, and it goes more in that direction as the series goes on). It's not my favorite, but I did enjoy it and it had some FANTASTIC action scenes. The following clip isn't english subtitled, but it's a good example of what I really enjoyed about the series:
