They are probably non-replaceable because the case is sealed for
waterproofness..... and that could make it hard to get into.
Also when you replace the batteries it will be hard to seal it back up.

Waterproofness hardly matters for something that has just one or two
NiCd cells in it. Battery torches and toys work quite happily
underwater in my experience.
