Mass distribution inside inner horizon of a charged black hole
I am trying to understand the spatial geometry inside the inner horizon of a charged black hole. I assume the charge accumulates exactly on the inner horizon (https://jila.colorado.edu/~ajsh/bh/rn....

What is the electromagnetic 4-vector potential in Reissner-Nordström coordinates?
If you have the usual Reissner-Nordström metric of a charged black hole, is the electromagnetic potential of the black hole still:
$$A_0(r,\theta,\phi) = \frac{Q}{r}$$
in these units?

Irreducible mass of a charged black hole merger
The irreducible mass $ \rm m_{irr} $ of a black hole with charge $ \rm Q $ is (in natural units)
$$ \rm m_{irr} = \frac{r_{+}}{2} = \frac{M}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{M^2}{4} - \frac{Q^2}{4}} $$

What is the reason for $g_{tt}g_{rr}=-1$?
Both Reissner Nordstrom and Schwarzschild solutions in GR exhibit the property that $g_{tt}g_{rr}=-1$.
What can we deduce from this property in terms of the gravitational field?

On destroying the horizon of a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole
Consider a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole with $Q<M$, so that it has a well defined event horizon, the metric for such a black hole is given by (for $\theta=0, and ~d\phi=0$):
