I changed the batteries on my XC60 last week. I've no idea how the V60 compares to the XC60 so I'll just assume that they are similar.
I purchased the support battery from Tayne and it is probably the same one that you have already identified. The main battery I purchased was a YUASA AGM 096 9000 SERIES from GSF. These are excellent batteries and well worth the money.
The wipers do need to come off. The 'padded strip' that you mention simply pulls off and pushes back on. There is no adhesive involved.
A thin smear of Vaseline will protect the terminals from corrosion.
