No - Is the quick answer.
My CTEK Smart charger has the option to purchase a pair of fly leads, that can be left attached to the positive and negative sides of the battery.
( I will attach a picture is I can )
The charger can then be attached safely onto the car in seconds.
It's a better fit than using the standard crocodile cramps I find.
The also have also purchased the extension lead, that can be used in-line between the fly leads and the smart charger.
Therefore the charger is not left under the bonnet of the car, I can have it plugged into a outlet on the wall and then the charger sit's on a table below.
Just the long extension loom, running from the charger to the fly lead easy connect on the battery.

Same, I think it's called the "comfort" lead IIRC. Mine's still attached to the ZS battery.
