Im in the process og moving my battery, I have 5.5M of 135amp cable which will easily be enough.

I think the starter is 8mm and alternator is 6mm. Ill have to check the invoice when i go to work, as i redid all the power / earth cables not too long ago.

You may also consider placing a terminal block at the front where the battery were, this will give you more convenience in the future.

 

And a sealed box to store the battery can keep the hazard vapour out of the cabin.
