With an anderson connector to avoid reverse polarity accidents, It's totally idiot proof and requires no modifications.

Final thing I am trying to figure out now that I have a 14v battery is whether to run the 12V battery inline with it? Reason being it would be a lot easier to put a quick disconnect on the 14V battery for recharging at night and have the 12V keep the ECU settings intact - honestly I can't see a downside to running the two batts together because the 12V is just going to sit there taking a low current charge from the 14v but maybe I am missing something?
