I (think) ground is four, pos is 4 or 6- ground always has to be as big or bigger than than the positives- it gets the brunt of the current flow/ heat

It not equivalent AWG standards, but it's close to 4AWG and 8AWG.
When using those sized connectors, it was a little loose.
So, it might be equivalent 5AWG and 9AWG.
