Mike,
if going back direct to the battery, I'd advise you to fit a fuse at the battery end.
As a rough guide, use a rating of 10 times the CSA of the cable.
Preferably use one of the stud-terminal type fuses, not a plug-in type - lower resistance.
eg 3mmsq=30A, 6mmsq=60Aetc.
The solenoid on mine draws about 25A.

Simon.
