What battery size fits a Suzuki Swift, and how do I check before I pay?

My 2017 Suzuki Swift petrol would not start in my building parking in Sharjah last week, and the battery was only about fourteen months old. The shop put in a new one very fast, and I did not ask anything. Now I am not sure if the size was right, and I want to understand it before the next one. My brother says any battery that fits in the tray is fine. My neighbor says the size code, the terminal side and the capacity all have to match the car, or it will not last. A friend at work told me to check the date code on the new battery, because an old one from the shelf is already half used. Another colleague said to ask for a charging test at the same visit, because a weak alternator can kill a new battery early. I read a page on last night to see which sizes suit this car, and it covered the fitment and what to check before buying, which gave me a short list. Since then I have been looking for Top Amaron battery picks for Suzuki Swift petrol in Sharjah, because I mostly do short trips and the car sits in the sun all day. My questions are easy. Which size did you fit in your Swift, and how long did it last? How do you read the date code on the label? Is it okay to ask the shop to show me the old battery next to the new one? And what warranty is fair to ask for in writing? Please share what you chose. Thanks for reading.
