I need to store it for a day or 2 unheated. Will it survive?

If there's aproblem is it just the battery, or will other components
suffer too?

You will be ok in the 20's. Now if you were talking about much colder
temps (-10 to +10 F), it's more of an issue and concern. When a machine
is stored cold, always allow the machine to return to room temperature
slowly (12 to 24 hours) before using it, otherwise, condensation inside
the hard drive can cause failure.
