What is the 2nd wire on the House Negative Battery post?

Can anyone offer an explanation of the 2nd wire connected to the negative house battery post?  I cannot find where the other end terminates.  I was guessing it's the battery temperature monitor albeit not marked so;  and furthermore the configuration of the connecter doesn't look like anything more than a 4 wire phone cable.  The Red and Green wires are buried in some epoxy in the terminal end;  the Yellow and Black wires are cut.  I've added photos here;  How would this serve as a battery temperature sensor?

That would be my first "GUESS" as well.

Go to the inverter/charger and see if those same two wires are on the plug end at the inverter/charger.
