   Abiko is a new term/word for what I've always called Faston Terminals.   
   I'll look the word up to see if it is in the Wordweb dictionary.   
      
   I have seen two different sizes of Faston terminals in things that I   
   have got to salvage the parts out of them.   
      
   The Terminal Size Specification most likely isn't in the Specs for the UPS   
   Battery, so I wouldn't know until I get the replacement battery if the   
   Battery Specification has changed (Improved) over these past five years.
