Battery/Airbag issues? And windshield water sprayer problem!

It would be nice to go a week without an issue with my Mini! I guess that is what you get when you put 10,000+ miles on it a year. And sorry if I seem noob.. it is because I am!

I seem to be having 2 issues:

Mini Service is telling me my battery is setting off my airbag light. I had them check it out twice before because the light would come on randomly and I would have to have them reset it. The said it was because it was not a OEM Mini battery. However.. the one I have is better than the mini battery! I currently have a Bosch battery that is only about 6 months old. Has anyone else had this issue? Did you just end up buying an OEM battery or did you have something else fixed? Do I have to go to the dealer for the battery or can I get it somewhere else?

And my windshield wiper sprayer on the left side is not working! Before, there was only water coming out of 1 of 2 of the spray holes. Then I had my brother take a look at it and after reading some threads on this site, he used the air compressor to try and clean it out. Now neither are working and the water is leaking out the bottom of the black thing. (Sorry, don't know what it is called!) Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Thanks everyone!
