"Thingie" on battery casing

Time to replace my four 6 volt chassis batteries. Just noticed on one of them attached to the side casing is a small black box about 1" x 2"" with 2 wires coming out and going back into the coach somewhere. Any ideas? I assume it will pry off and needs to be attached to the new battery?

How does it attach to the battery? How re-attach to the new battery once removed?

I also have a couple of foil looking "thingies"

However they are just floating around in the battery compartment
Should I glue them to a battery or squeeze them between 2 batteries?? Or let "thingies" fall where they may
