That's the battery vent tube. It should be connected to your battery.

The vent tube for the battery. Unless your car now has a non-vented battery, you definitely want this connected to avoid fumes and corrosion.

It's the fun-end of an Official Rennlister Crackpipe. Inhale and watch all your money float away with mods.

Just kidding. Battery vent tube like the others have said.

All batteries are vented, even AGM and GEL batteries that fall into the VRLA category of batteries.

And they will vent if you voltage regulator goes belly up and allows the battery to be overcharged.

Personally and based on my experience with batteries at home and at work, I prefer the flooded lead acid battery (FLA). None of those other high-tech batteries have lasted as long...not even close.
