Battery positive leads. What are they for??

Hello. On my battery on my s2 I have the main power lead for the starter motor. I also have 2 more cables in a red plastic sheath. Can you tell me what they are for in particular as they go into the loom. I take it 1 is ignition. Any idea on the other? thanks

One is your main fuse box feed, and the other is the direct power supply for the heated windscreen.

They have shitty fuse link wires on them, they are prone to corroding/fraying/burning out over the years, i chopped mine off and put a 60A AGU fuse inline with some 8AWG power cable
