I dont think he's referring to batteries with this phrase. He's
probably talking about not using spade lugs on terminal blocks (where
ring connectors should be used). All of the small VRLA batteries that
I've seen in sailplanes have Faston connectors, so Faston "spade lugs"
would have to be used there.

Ok, now I'm curious again. What sort of battery do you use to power
your glider systems and what sort of terminals does it have?
