To your question of charging.....I have a battery tender brand charger, and have their wire attached to the battery cables with ring connectors. When the car comes in I just plug the plug into the wire for the battery tender. This allows me to charge/top up the battery just bu opening the trunk and attaching a 1 way plug. Simple. I use the cables I sited earlier for jump starting only. I have found this to be about the best setup.
two (three?) projects ago, I had a car that was nearly impossible to jump start. if i had to jump the car, i would connect the jumpers directly to the starter and the cylinder head as i ran a Harley Davidson AGM battery in the trunk. after doing that one time, i installed the ring-terminal end of the charging cable permanently to the battery so i could throw it on the trickler when it was going to sit.

a jumpers set with a quick disconnect in the middle like you shared would have been excellent. my thought for jumping/charging is that an additional connector could be wired to the end of the charger and then all aux electricity would be channeled the same way.
