Default What is this connection and connector in the Trunk?

I removed the trunk bed in my 2014 F-Type convertible to take a look at the Aux battery that's dead.

What are theses two and should they be connected to what?

Anyone with a 2014 willing to see how their F-Type is wired!

I don't know what the black 4 point plug in the bottom pic is for, but the small white plug in the top pic is used once and once only by the dealership as part of the new car pre-delivery setup procedure and is never needed or used again so nothing to worry about.

The black plug is similar to the stop start plug which is pulled to disable stop start.

No such plug on my 2014 (MY 2015), although it is a coupe not a 'vert.
I first disabled the stop/start by disconnecting the earth lead from the second battery then I removed that battery altogether.
Pulling a plug to disable the stop/start only applies to the single battery system on MY2016 onwards F-Types.
So I reckon that plug is for something else.

On the coupé it’s against the rear bulkhead.But this is for cars with one battery.
