What are the <U>code letters </U>(like F or H) that manufacturers apply to batteries based upon the type of <U>terminals</U> the battery has -- as top post, side mount, stud, etc.

I am shopping for a new battery for my 1992 Accord, so please help me out.

 

no matter where you go to get a battery that should have a guide based on the brand of battery

 

No, the codes I am referring to are "universal" in the US or the same for all batteries.
