Orion-Tr DC-DC Circuit Breaker Location

Would it be suitable to install both 60A breakers for DC to DC charging near the mounting location of the Smart Charger? The cable run from the charger to the remote battery is about 3 to 4 meters, but little room to include a breaker at that location.

They are there to protect against cable faults/short circuits and should be as close to the power source as possible. I.e. at the battery and at the charger as both act as power sources. .
