Negative Battery Wire Corroded, what guage?

My battery's negative terminal is all nasty and leak like...I will be replacing it VERY soon. The negative wire is brital and frail from the damage...I want to replace that too. What gauge wire is used? And where does the wire run to?

Stock wires are 4 gauge.

I don't remember where the negative terminal goes, unfortunately.
