A wire gauge chart (search for "AWG chart") will tell you diameter of wire, gauge, ampacity, &c (make sure you look for the number of strands in your wire as that will affect measured diameter). A dial caliper or micrometer will tell you what you have.

Edit: Some electricians/audio-installers can give you a close estimate by eyeballing it.

Edit 2: There is a power distribution block on the front left side of the battery. It may make a better place to attach the power wire than the battery terminal. Oops. Looked at the pics again and you are using the block. Doh!
