I'm buying an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II and would like to pick up a spare battery. Does it use the same battery as the earlier OM-D E-M10? Also, does the camera include a separate external battery charger in the box?

Yes, they both use the same battery type. The E-M10 comes with a BLS-5 and the E-M10II comes with a BLS-50. They are equivalent as you can see in Power Supplies for OM-D / PEN series cameras. You can buy replacement batteries for the E-M10 and they'll work for the E-M10II.
Both come with a BCS-5 battery charger that can charge both batteries

Yes. The Olympus OM-D E-M10 and E-M10 Mark II use the same battery system. The original E-M10 is typically listed with the BLS-5, while the E-M10 Mark II is listed with the BLS-50; these batteries are considered equivalent and compatible across both cameras. So a spare battery sold for the E-M10 should also work in the E-M10 Mark II.
Yes, the camera also comes with a separate external charger. The included charger is the BCS-5, and it can charge both the BLS-5 and BLS-50 batteries.
