I have M87's (European M88) with the battery case BP-226 as supplement.
The case is specified "meets JIS waterproof specification grade 4. I
have tried to emerse it into a basin, and the inside of the case and the
contacts were dry afterwards. That was no JPX7 test but it did
demonstrate that the case can be use - without warranty - in a humid
environment. The battery case is a bit bulkier than the Li-Ion battery.
The case takes 5 alkaline cells. Ni-Cd and Ni-NH are forbidden according
to ICOM.

"Also just to support Dave's comment that the tray may not be
waterproof."
