Hey Bobby,

You will want to use either solid or stranded copper wire between 2 and 14AWG for the positive and negative connections to the battery. The gauge will depend on the length of your run from the Progressive Dynamics PD9200 Series Battery Converter Charger # PD9260C to the battery. Stranded wire is typically cheaper so it's what most people go with.
