Peugeot Boxer battery connections

I removed the battery from my 1998 diesel van to check the alternator connections.

There are three leads from the positive terminal:

  1. Red cable goes to a connector block on the adjoining wing,
  2. Sleeved cable goes through the rear of the battery tray towards the alternator (I presume that it must go to the starter motor)
  3. A second thick red cable has a small connecting block attached and goes ....... nowhere. It almost touches the rear of the battery tray which would not be very safe.

What, if anything, should be attached to this third cable.

I will have a look underneath the vehicle tomorrow for any loose connections but would be grateful for any help.
