That's how it is normally done. Leave the cables connected to the battery. Attach the charger's cables, red / positive to the battery's positive post, and negative to negative. Way too often we read that someone connected something backward and caused a real lot of expensive problems. There's a big + molded into the battery's cover right next to the positive cable, and a big minus sign next to the negative cable.
Turn the charger on after its cables are connected to the battery. It is always better to charge at the slowest rate the charger offers. This is more important with older batteries. Home chargers vibrate the battery's plates which hastens its eventual failure. The slower the charging rate, (current), the less the plates vibrate.
