Well I found a place that says a reasonable current draw for a Sentra starter can be as much as 200 amps, so based on that, a 2 AWG wire would be better, and the added weight would be minimal over that short 5' distance. Maybe that's what I used. I'd check the leftover box, but it's out at the hangar. There's a little article on that at http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/bat_cabl.html where Bob says #2 welding cable is the ticket...much more easily bent, and dirt cheap compared to aircraft cable...
