Tony is correct.
Your Lucas battery came with vent caps which connect to holes
in s hose and then out through the hole in the floor.   According
to a Rootes engineer I met, one of the prototypes was on a
test dyno running at high speed.  The generator was overcharging
the battery so much that it created hydrogen gas.  The gas  exploded
and burnt the Tiger and dyno.  Hence the vent hose.
 
MK II Tigers have a Red Plastic 'Manifold' that says LUCAS instead
of a plain black hose
 
Modern batteries are sealed.
