I want to make these Bluetooth earbuds waterproof, or at least water resistant (something close to the IP65 or IP66 rating), and I was thinking about sealing the casing with a non conductive superglue and finishing off with some isolating tape on some parts. My main concern is the lithium battery, maybe I'll wrap it up with isolating tape.
Is this a good plan? Do non conductive glues even exist? What can I do with the part where the sound comes out? Should I just rely on the rubber thing to isolate water from it? I'm not really a DIY project kind of guy, so any help is appreciated.
Also sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native English speaker.

Yes

You can cover it with something nonporous and decrease the sound quality

If you want your earbuds full of water, sure.

I don't wanna submerge them. That would require something similar to the IP67 rating and I'm trying to be realistic here. I just want to be able to use these under heavy rain without fear of them shorting out in my ears.
What do you think would be the best way to protect the battery?
