Good point. Thank you.
CTEK lead is indeed not fused. They don't mention this possibility, which I think is a flaw. Will add it. Only wrapped around additional tape to prevent chafing on the hole in the wall. Leads are screwed with eyelets directly to battery the poles.

My Maypole charger provides for a similar permanent battery connection (with insulated cap) as well as crocodile clips. There is a fuse which I suspect the Ctek has as well but it's on the charger side of common lead. It's all a little academic when you consider the dedicated starter cable following common practice, has no fuse at all between battery and starter motor.
