I think that the bit high voltage will be OK.

I do not know how you intent to use.
If underwater, you have to protect the cables, else a short will damage battery.

Also I am considering that when you apply the sealant over buttons, you might have:
- going under and affecting the contacts,
- forbiden to change position on buttons if you have to rotate one as ASPM, focus, manual aperture or shutter, any other settings you might want.

The button section will be covered with a thin layer of clear plastic or latex first, then the sealant applied on top, so the sealant will bot be applied directly on the buttons 🙂
As per the cables, yes the plan is to solder and glue a sealed port, unless i figure out how to seal the whole battery compartment.
