What is this on my battery

What is this? It's connected to my battery but I don't know what it is or what it's supposed to do. Any help is appreciated.

  • It seems to be a sort of buss that keeps those pos wires up, clear of the neg wires. Pos and neg wires are all criss-crossed. You could just turn the battery 180 degrees and then the neg and pos battery posts would be nearest where their wires are going to.

    The buss thing might still be useful, since it is better to have only one lug on the battery post instead of stacking a bunch of lugs. Depends on the lug shape how many is too many--some are fat and lumpy and some are thin and flat.
