water under the cabin filter

hello
yesterday when trying to find the AC cabin filter and the second battery, I have found them, BUT in addition I have found water staying in the chassis, under the battery. The battery was maybe 1-2 cm in water.

Should be a drainage hole under this part?????

I have washed the engine 2 months ago and since it is winter time maybe the water is still there, or maybe from the rain and falling from the front window it is collecting there.

There is drain hole... Check also if your windshield bottom drain hose is blocked or loosen (under aux battery), it's very common hose is bent/blocked and water pours around.

Also clean the sunroof drains, I had a problem with this and the water was going to the bottom below the glove box.

I did the removal of the bolt who tighten the SBC battery and noticed directly water coming out the drainage pipe. that time I was afraid to remove the battery because of problems with the memory or things like that.
now I know from other people that it is not a problem to remove the aux battery so when I will find time I will remove and clean the drainage pipe
thanks
