There's certainly no problem with a larger-gauge properly installed cable connecting the two 6V batteries. Even a clipped-on booster cable would help during boosting.

I agree.

Interesting. I have seen the single-battery cabling, but not the interconnecting cable on the dual battery setup. Do you know what gauge this is? The positive cable I've seen for single-battery Escape is 8 AWG, which would be the size of some lightweight booster cables. For this purpose, I would likely use an automotive starter cable (
example), which would often be quite a bit heavier. It really only needs to be as large as the positive and negative cables connected to the batteries.
