Does it have to be an Anderson connector?

That product seems to only have a 15amp fuse, that would only a max 180watt power draw. I'm not sure the power of your inverter, but the fuse might be too small.

You probably want to be charge the battery with the same charger as you use for your other comp batteries. FIRST requires that all robot battery chargers have a SB50 connected, so yes I would suggest that you would need to put a SB50 connector onto the inverter cable

I find it is relatively easy to crimp one of the SB-50 connectors on to 16awg, I did it for some battery chargers last season, if you don't have the crimping tool you can do it in a vice with a screwdriver and a hammer and then fill the lug up with solder( to strengthen and guarantee connection), as it is only a low current draw application
