There is a second grounding post (not used) at the other end of the battery. It is identical to the one that is used for the battery negative. 

Anyone know what this might be for?

Welcome to RennTech :welcomeani:

Year and model are always useful, and a photo might help as well as I am not sure what you are referring to.

It's my understanding that on a RHD Boxster the positive and negative battery terminals are the other way round i.e. the unused ground on a LHD car to which you refer would be used for the battery negative on a RHD car.

 

Since confirmed by a helpful RHD owner ...

"I have a RHD 1999 Boxster and viewing from the front the positive terminal is on the right, i.e the passengers side, and the terminals are closest to the spare wheel."
