I'd like to pose a technical question about Engel fridge cables and fuses if thats ok?

I have dedicated cable from the auxiliary battery to my fridge. Rather than terminate the fridge end of that cable with a female cigarette lighter plug I would prefer to fit an Anderson plug to provide a much more efficient and positive connection and then cut the lighter plug off my fridge cable and fit an Anderson plug to that too. The cable from the battery to the Anderson plug has a 10 amp fuse at the battery end and the fridge has a 10 amp fuse in it as well. Does anyone think it unwise to dispense with the cigarette plug from the fridge and its associated fuse?

Oh and as an added extra, I will be fitting an anderson plug to the cut bit of cable that has the cigarette lighter plug attached so in reality, apart from having a couple of anderson plugs at one end of the Engel cable it it could be used as originally intended.

I'm thinking of doing this because I don't like the cigarette style plugs as they can work themselves loose from my experience. I'm of the opinion that Anderson plugs are more reliable.

Thanks
