I think they do! If you Google search you will find various methods involving scalpels, silicon sealant, and so on. I bit the bullet and bought one of their Wearlink straps and transmitter which allows easy replacement of the battery.

For interest, this is what I found when I cut open the dead transmitter unit; the battery seems to be tack welded to the little spring clip and encased in a plastic holder so despite my determination it looks as if I would do better shelling out for a new one. The receiver battery on the other hand is simple.
