    I am going to move my battery to the bed of my Jeep. What size wire will I need to do so, #2 or can I use #4?

    4 gauge should work but 1/0 would be better. Only run the positive cable. You can save money by grounding the motor and battery to the frame.

    If you have any old welding lead cable, it works great.
