I've got a DB Power DJS30 and although I've thankfully never had to use it yet, Sod's Law dictates that it'll be a wet and windy night if or when I do need it.
I have a Lexus RX450h hybrid car and the 12V battery is under the floor panel in the boot. Given that my wife's mobility scooter lives in the boot as well, it'll be a major undertaking on a cold, wet night to empty the boot and get to the battery if I ever need to, so I intend to use a pair of eyelet connectors permanently connected to the battery and run the cables to a more easily accesible point so that I can easily plug in the battery pack when needed.

My questions are:
- Am I right in thinking that the connector is known as an Anderson Powerpole connector? (sorry for the blurred photo)
- Does anyone know what the red box arrowed in the second photo does and/or what it contains? Do I need one or will it be alright to just run a positive and negative wire from the battery to a female Powerpole connector (if that's what it is) without that red box?
