Length of battery ground cable ?

I know one's supposed to keep the negative cable as short as possible, but I'd like to run it somewhere inside the car, where I could reach and turn the battery off with a battery disconnect switch.

Would this cause any problems at all ?


Bought a D34/78 Optima Yellow battery yesterday, started the Big 3 today (only with 4 gauge wire right now, alternator to battery and battery to ground)


I'd like to be able to disconnect it anyway, until I've fixed all possible electrical problems I may or may not have.
