Being as small as they are these batteries probably won't last more than a couple years. It would be nice to know whether or not they are available for replacement.
I did not take photos. The battery has a connector and is easily removable. I would be very surprised if you could not get a replacement battery already, as I suspect the case was designed around something already available. Water exclusion is accomplished via a rubber seal between the two halves, and rubber buttons.
Tear down is 3 phillips head screws. Takes maybe 2 minutes, probably less. Not complicated, and i don't have a worthy camera so I did not take pictures. You just need a very small phillips screwdriver. If you have any interest in electronics it is worth the few minutes just to watch the light work on the circuit board without the lens over it. They really could have made the whole thing half as thick by thinning the red piece. Not really sure why they made it so big, but probably for marketing reasons.
