Use this guide to bring life back to your iPhone 7 with a new battery. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
This guide instructs you to completely detach the display assembly; this is intended to prevent damage to the display cables. If you feel comfortable removing the battery without putting undue strain on the display cables, you can skip the steps for disconnecting the display.
For optimal performance, after completing this guide, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least two more hours. Then use your iPhone until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

Does this effectively negate the waterproof feature of the new iPhones?
yes , unless it is sealed back with new waterproof tape, which almost no one has yet
Atronx -
No you can buy the replacement. See the above guide for a link on how to do that and iFixIt sells them. Recommend buying more than one because installation is tricky - must get it aligned perfectly though the spluger and pointy tweezers can help reposition minor slipups.
The back adhesive is available on ifixit. So you can make it water proof-ish again.
Recall, an original iPhone is far from waterproof after only a month usage.
