Unlike de Haas--van Alphen measurements, heat-capacity magneto-quantum oscillations directly probe the oscillatory bulk quasiparticle density of states. Here, we report the observation of MQOs in V$_2$Ga$_5$ single crystals studied via highly sensitive ac calorimetry. The strongest MQO signal is observed for a magnetic field applied along the vanadium chains, in excellent agreement with de Haas--van Alphen magnetization data. A single dominant frequency of 126.6 T resolved by fast Fourier transform confirms the true bulk origin of the elliptical $\gamma$ Fermi-surface pocket located near the Z point of the Brillouin zone. The angular dependence of the FFT frequency closely tracks the anisotropy of the $\gamma$ pocket, as supported by first-principles calculations. Analysis of the temperature- and field-dependent MQO amplitudes allows the precise determination of the effective cyclotron mass, Dingle temperature, quantum relaxation time, carrier mobility, and electron mean free path. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the net Berry flux is invariant with respect to the magnetic-field orientation, as a consequence of a conserved hybridization phase twist within the $\gamma$ pocket. These findings establish ac calorimetry as a powerful macroscopic probe of topological orbital hybridization in complex intermetallics.
