I'll let others speak about the battery, but for wipers, yes, the Bosch Twin 582S is what you want.

The Twin 582S set has both blades, and they are different. The passenger side has a curve to it that more or less follows the shape of the bottom of the windshield. The driver side is straight and has a sort-of bump thing that sticks up. Not sure why that is there though...

You can probably use any cheap set of blades that fit, but if you want it to look right, the Twin 582S is what you want (aka 996 628 901 08). Shop around - prices vary a LOT - I think I paid $26 for the set but I've seen sellers on ebay selling them for $74 (CRAZY!)

PaulE - hey, thanks for that pelican link for the refills!

For the manuals, I'd recommend getting the 101 Projects book - order it directly from Pelican ($23.95 when I bought it 3 years ago), and the Bentley manual (I found Amazon was cheapest).

Hope this helps

Bill
