   I look for more details today on the Batteries Plus Bulbs website.   
   I learned the 5 batteries listed as replacements for my UPS all have .187"   
   Faston tabs.   
   Four of them are rated at 7A/Hr, the other one is 8A/Hr.   
   The local store has all five batteries in stock, I'll buy the 8A/Hr battery.   
   Thanks for suggesting I get the "Biggest they make".

   I have forgotten all about MCM Electronics, I think I've seen advertisements   
   from that company in Popular Electronics.   
   But I could be wrong.  I have been b4.
