Thanks

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.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
