Those pigtails are designed to be left on the battery. The battery is a larger power source than the wall charger. Look at it this way, Everything is plugged in, short the 2 wires together, Where is the damaging current going to come from? About 2A from the charger, not enough to damage the wires, (Plus if it is a good charger it will be circuit protected) About 350A from the battery. That will smoke those wires in seconds. This is why the fuse is and needs to be close to the battery.
