My understanding is that the v2 is the same form factor as the FMR. In
that case, it is likely that it will be a li-ion battery (not
user-replaceable), and also that you don't need to remove screws or
bumpers to open the battery compartment (the end just pops out, although I
haven't tried it myself, I'm simply reporting what others on here have
said).
