Yes, the Chipolo ONE comes with the battery included. The battery is a type CR2032, which is already inserted in the device when it is delivered.

It's exactly the same. Until recently, Chipolo one was the only option for Android users, but it is now less useful.
But I'm also not sure whether the Chipolo is even shared via a network of devices/apps without it, or only via your own.
The Find my Service network from Google/Android is currently not yet very sophisticated and is actually only successful in heavily frequented places such as swimming pools, railway stations, etc. Even when travelling through Zurich by public transport, it is hardly recognised anywhere.
This is either due to Google's default settings or because not so many devices have yet activated and set up the function.
The Chipolo ONE only works with the Chipolo app.
There are different Chipolos for different systems (including Spot and Point for Apple and Android). Unfortunately, you have to be careful, as the functions differ accordingly.
In this case: Install the Chipolo app.

The answer is a classic "yes, but"... The One is primarily there so that you don't forget things or can find them quickly (e.g. if you haven't put your key where it always is). The app can alert you, for example, if you have forgotten your key somewhere (with One). It's up to you to decide whether it's very helpful when you realise on the street that you've left your front door key at home. At least you can see where the One was last near your mobile phone (or the app).
Now for the case: of course, these (passive) tags all work the same way in principle. So you could already put the registered Chipolo in the case, then you would have to mark it as "lost" and then... Yes, what? Then, by chance, another Chipolo user would have to come by the suitcase to update the location. In principle, this is also the case with alternative tags, but it is a question of the size of the user group. And in this case, it is manageable. I doubt that this will work well...
Chipolo therefore now has two alternatives on sale: Chipolo ONE Spot for the Apple system and Chipolo ONE Point for the Android system. Both use the standard of the corresponding platform for these tags and thus enlarge the user group considerably, which should work better for this purpose in my view.
There is a misunderstanding here. The Chipolo One contains a battery that, in my experience, lasts 1-2 years. However, the Chipolo does not determine its location and does not transmit it, but can only be "found" by mobile phones with the corresponding app. So you can't actively track the Chipolo's location. At best, you can mark the Chipolo as "lost", in which case the location would be reported back to the owner by every Chipolo app (if someone with the app is in the vicinity of the Chipolo).

Basically, chipolo works with an app, so if you have android installed, it's no big deal and works great.

The manufacturer says it is water resistant. This is the only information we have.

For "Find my", there's the Chipolo One Spot. And that, in turn, does not work with the Chipolo app. That's because of Apple and their extra sausages.

Chipolo ONE Spot (Apple Find My Network)
The battery can be changed without any problems. So far I have not had to change it.
