Yeah,
It would be great if we could change the battery connection, but even if we can't, using the proposed wiring we could just change the connector on the charger (or even make an adaper cable) and plug in the charger dowsntream from the power switch (using the Anderson connector).
You'd just need to make sure the switch was ON when you went to charge.
The existing battery connector is fine, as long as you don't make it loose from many hundreds of connections.
ps: I do think we should lobby for being able to change the battery connector if we are fine with voiding the warrentee
