HG> HG> There's only a small hitch, the "Abiko" connectors on the batteries,   
   HG> HG> are narrower than the original, but the wider female connectors on the   
   HG> HG> leads seem to make enough contact.   
      
   HG>EV> Abiko is a new term/word for what I've always called Faston   
   HG>EV> Terminals. I'll look the word up to see if it is in the Wordweb   
   HG>EV> dictionary.   
      
   HG>You'll not find it in any dictionary, but it's what all those flat   
   HG>terminals/connectors are called here. The name "Abiko" probably stems   
   HG>from the first (to us) known manufacturer of these.   
      
   HG>EV> I have seen two different sizes of Faston terminals in things that I   
   HG>EV> have got to salvage the parts out of them.   
      
   HG>There are at least four different widths known to me. The male terminals   
   HG>come in the sizes: 3/8", 1/4", 5/16" and the female connectors are marked   
   HG>with a coloured plastic collar marking their current carrying capacity.   
   HG>Yellow standing for 6, blue for 2,5 and red for 1.5 sq.millimetres wire   
   HG>size.   
      
   HG>These are the most common sizes, but then there is at least one narrower   
   HG>male terminal size.   
      
   Here under the name Faston Name Blue comes in 5 different sizes at one   
   supplier that I use. .110, .187, .205, .250, and .375 inches
