Quick disconnect for battery charger.

I use 2pole flat connectors like:

To connect my fish finder and a light to my bettery.

I just got a new lithium battery and the new charger is on the way. Is there any reason to NOT wire a 2-pole connector like that right to my battery charger? With my old lead acid battery i would open the waterproof battery box, pull the battery halfway out, and clip to the larger terminals.  New battery has small type 2 terminals, and it would be a heck of alot easier to leave the battery in the box and just plug the charger in to the existing connector.

I use them on all my batteries that use that type of charger.  Even got a few weather proof SAE plugs. Saves having to pull the battery, or fumble trying to get to the terminals. Less stress for all. Just plug in and go play.

I use them on all of mine too.

I use the same SAE connector and just leave it plugged in while I use my graph which is connected to the piggy back spade connector.  When I get home, I just plug in the charger until it turns green, and then unplug the charger.  Come to think of it, I think that's how my Marcum Brute came setup when I bought it.  Here's a pic:

Sounds good guys!

With my old battery (out of my wife's Vespa) I always used the same charger I use for car/camper/lawnmower batteries with larger clips.  Now that I'm getting a smaller dedicated charger (if Amazon ever ships the Dakota Lithium charger), I'm going to install the 2 pole connector to use the same connection as the fish finder.  Eventually I'll install the piggybacks to run two connections out of the battery box.

I see that marcum has an inline fuse holder, i don't think the Dakota lithium charger comes with one. I've got fuses on my fish finder power lines for both the ice fishing box and the kayak rigging, do i need one on the charger hook up as well?
