I have the older version of this and while the battery is not meant to be user serviceable, replacing it yourself is both easy and cheap. A new battery is about $15 on Amazon and replacing it just involves using a shim to pop the case open. ifixit.com has a guide.
Your advice is still good advice. I'm just saying it's not the end of the world if you do have to replace the battery.
This same unit was on SD a couple weeks ago for $108 shipped direct from FLIR. Received mine before Christmas, works great btw.

Used this myself to try and find air leaks in the house. Helped guide me in the area where it was coldest but didn't give a ton of detail. Also found wall studs which I wasn't expecting. Imagery is a bit slow though as you move it around but definitely gives you an idea of what's cold and hot
Roofs shed water, but if there is a leak the wood would absorb water. Looking through an infrared camera would show "wet" as a cold bluish spot, so yes in the right conditions (right after a rain and after the rest of the roof has shed the water,) it should show up.
