Depending on your situation, battery cables may not actually be required. 

If the goal is to parallel them just for solar trickle charging over the winter, you could just use 12ga wires with 15a inline fuses.  Solar panels won't produce more than a few amps max so you're only distributing that current.

More details on your situation would help.
