    What gage wire is required for a trunk mounted battery 18 ft length ? Is there such thing as too big?

    I am not sure of the size but, a friend of mine used welding cable for his trunk mounted battery. It was very flexable & easy to route. It is avaliable at any welding supply store.

    the connection to the lug(terminal ends)is just as important as the size.crimp it with the proper cable crimper,or have it done.
