Default Cable for remote battery

Hi

Does anyone have a sensible suggestion for the gauge of power cable to use when installing a battery in the boot of a car (length will be approx 3-4 metres front to back) ?

Cheers

i used a battery cable from a scrap BMW 3 series to reach the boot, its cost me £5. I didnt fancy shelling out £10+ per metre for new cable.
