That's an excellent question and the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D does require a connection to your starter battery as opposed to your 7-way; additionally you do need the 40-Amp MIDI Fuse Kit for Redarc In-Vehicle 25-Amp BCDC Battery Charger # 331-FK40. The reason is this kit makes sure you do not get a short or overload your system.
I have added links to video reviews for you to take a look at of both the charger and fuse kit.
