Default Small hose near battery

While changing battery I noticed a small hose with a 90 degree plastic fitting forward of the battery. It appears to be pneumatic, but I don't see anything to connect to it. Any ideas what this is?

Battery vent. One of the battery caps should have a hole/port that goes into to vent any fumes outside since the battery is inside the vehicle. If it doesn't then you have the incorrect battery for the vehicle.

He’s right. It’s a vent to keep acid fumes out of the vehicle. If your new battery does not have the port to connect the existing hose to. Return it and get the correct battery
