Presumably Shack, these are the small outlets at one/both ends of battery. If the battery is mounted in boot or in cabin, such as BMW, a small pipe connects to these to allow venting outside car (build up of hydrogen in confined space only ends one way ;D).  If fitted in engine bay, usually nothing connects to these.

With a new battery, these outlets have little (usually red for some reason, but might vary) caps to seal these for transit.  These caps should be removed upon fitting.
