I am going to set up an extra tm battery. What is the smallest wire for a 10 ft run that I can use reliably?

I would run 10 AWG since you are running 240 inches +/- combined length. IMHO
It depends on the size TM you plan on using. But based on the range of TM's you might be as small as 10ga, but more likely 8 or 6 is recommended.
I bought 30 feet of #6 marine wire. It is a 2 wire cable. I got it off of Amazon for a little over $100. It is tinned wire. Looks to be of good quality

25$ for a set of good jumper cablesQuote:

Not a good idea. Almost all of the jumper cables (all in the $25 range) I've seen are not copper stranded wire but are CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) which has much higher resistance.Quote:

You can also look at this chart from Blue Sea as a guide as well. Part 1: Choosing the Correct Wire Size for a DC Circuit - Blue Sea Systems
