It is worth tidying that up so that the higher amperage wiring and terminals is combed clear of the lower amperage stuff, support the relay with a bracket, secure the battery with a strap, protect the wires at risk of chafing with sacrificial tape or conduit and cover the battery terminals with insulators.
Doing the above should prevent an otherwise minor shunt from triggering a rather major fire.

Another small piece of advice which I have done on two installations is to put a sticker on your main battery cover and inside the housing notifying service oppo's or the emergency services that you have a second battery, where it is and how to disconnect it 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Good idea (I haven't just agreed with DG have I?!!!
I have stickers instructing to disconnect aux battery first and a sticker showing where the aux is, but not the easiest way to disconnect. Bodsys Brake Bible
