 |  I would think the length of cables depends on where you place the battery.  Measure from the engine to where the new battery location is, add X number of feet to allow for bends and such and you should be fine.  X is determined by the location, routing, etc.  I usually add 6 feet when I'm redoing battery cables, but that can change in an instant if you have a lot of bends etc.
