Question Identify Component Behind Battery

Some rodent got in and chowed down on the positive battery terminal cover and also on some component behind the battery. Anybody know what that thing is, or whether the damage is critical or merely cosmetic? I suspect the latter, it looks like some kind of insulating cover. Thanks for any insights.

Wazzit?

OK, thanks for this Charlie. I'll get my local dealership on it before the AC season arrives. Just glad it has nothing to do with braking. Cheers.
