THe bigger the better. Auto parts places should have some premade for you. If you look on your frayed wire it should be writting what guage it is. Equal it or better. If you plan on making your own make sure you can get the appropriate connections in that guage.

I once used 1 guage for my lead to the starter. Sorry I don't have an exact answer for you though. If I had to guess it would be 4 guage min but that is only a guess.

Cheers.
