Negative Battery Cable
 
Need some advice. Installed a new lightweight battery and negative cable doesn't reach the terminal. I can pick up an $8 cable from AutoZone. Or do I need to look for any specific requirements? Gauge, materials, etc...? And yes. I did adjust the mounting plate to move the battery as far to the right as possible after I took this photo. Would love to buy a OEM part just to be sure.

how about installing a battery kill switch, convenient and might be long enough.

Simple: Take your current cable to your local parts store and have them give you one that has sufficient additional length to do the job. Any quality cable will be fine.
