So, I posted on the Jinke web site. Here was my original post:
==================
Can you tell me the battery model for the V5? I know that on the V3 you indicated a specific Nokia battery that could be used to replace it.

Can you tell me what battery can be used as a replacement battery on the V5?

Thanks

And the response:
=================
Hi,emellaich
There is not any type of replacement on battery of V5 now.

=================

The response was from "Alan" who appears from other responses to be a Jinke employee. I'm sure that there still may be others from Jinke who can weigh in. This doesn't appear to be a definitive company policy statement. However, I would guess that it is currently not available.

I find Alan/Jinke to be quite responsive and helpful. However, in order to get a replacement battery beyond the standard the issue would probably need to be elevated to Jinke management. I suspect it would take emphasis from someone at Astak to elevate this issue.
