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.
