    Any recommendation where to buy a new battery for a 1999 Suzuki Carry AWD in the USA?

    Walmart or Autozone? I got a EverStart 51R with some JIS to SAE post adapters to fit in my van. Huge improvement going from 200+ CCA to 550+ CCA. Don't let the post size derail your search, just get the adapters on amazon.

    I bought a battery for a honda fit and it fits in my 1999 carry db52t

    Hi, I wanted to confirm you put a 51R or a 151R in your van? I have a DB52t and the measurements of a 51R seems like it it would be too big.

    The trucks may be different. Mine is definitely a 51R.

    Oh yeah, the battery is in the engine compartment under the passenger seat on the DB52x models. Thanks for clarifying! Seems like a 151r battery will fit though.

    Yeah, seems like the truck battery area is smaller for some reason.

    You guys with the 98 and earlier have the battery in a better spot IMHO

    With the van at least, we have these useless bins with screw-on covers under the rear carpet. That would be a great place for the battery (and improve weight distribution). Instead it's on a tray under the passenger seat next to the relays .... and there's not much extra space. Yours is probably a 12V 28AH like mine. It's basically a riding mower battery :D I'll be swapping this one out for an AGM soon. It does fine most of the time but I've left the headlights on a few times for 45 mins to an hour and when I came back, it would barely start :eek:
