Types of Westinghouse Batteries
Type “A” Batteries
The type “A” series was designed to fit the battery compartment in certain rather old models of cars. Owing to a lack of space this series is not of as efficient design as the “C” and “B” series. It does have the Westinghouse Post Seal, however.
Type “A” batteries are not recommended for use when “B” or “C” batteries can be used.
