Length of the Battery Cables on the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect Part # RM-766

Question

Question:

I am looking at different placement options for this switch other than that shown in your video. Can you provide the length of the two heavy gauge wires that are attached to the switch and connect to the positive side of the battery?
