If you NEED to join 2 cables together, use the cable drum to keep the connectors off the ground, better still, you can buy a waterproof connector shroud to enclose the plug and socket to keep them dry.
You don't need 2.5mm2 if your just hooking up to a smart charger to charge the batteries. My self build uses Lithium batteries hooked up to a 2kw inverter to power the van. The 30A charger draws just over 2 amps (AC).
It's good practice to use 2.5mm2. 1.5mm2 is usually 15A rated, which means that it gives opportunity to cause voltage drop/heating issues. Maybe less significant on short runs, less than 5m or so. But always use the proper rated cable for certain connectors, especially when unfused.
Very helpful thanks, had to repair a plug after my mother-in-law drove away without unplugging first.

could I suggest you twist the cores before you removed the partly stripped cable - it makes it easier
Always put the grey plastic cover on the lead first!

you do really cause 2.5mm is correct sizing for 16A
