    You are welcome. About 2-4 gauge battery cables should work fine. Even the premade lengths from AutoZone and others are perfect. Plus, if you need to crank the engine from the second battery, or in conjunction with the number one battery, you can do that by putting the switch to "both".

    This is really the cheapest way out IMO.
