wires to battery corroded through
My trailer serves as our guest home so it’s been parked for about 12 months. Always plugged in, fridge runs, etc. I filled the batteries monthly. I went out last month and 2 wires hooked up to one ...

well, these things are never simple or quick.
auto parts store had 10 gauge wire but not less, except for actual 4 gauge battery cables. but those had the wrong size stud rings. they had 3/8" 8 and 10 gauge stud rings which i bought.
i think the black/neg wire is 10 gauge so that's all good. but the red is bigger than that - guessing 8 ga?
went to the electric store. they have wire but don't think it will work. they looked at the cross-hatch of the wires showing several dozen strands and don't think what they sell is compatible.
if I buy 4 ga battery cables and clip them (kind of wasteful at $13 each) I would stil need a way to attach two different gauges together (4 ga red to 8 ga red and 4 ga black to 10 ga black).
