The important thing is the length of the wire. 12 Volt DC suffers from voltage drop on thinner cables over longer distances.
So the 16mm square is a good choice for a short run, if the run is longer go thicker.

My cvh is on 16mm^2. Although the round trip lenght is all of about 1m.

cable length will be less than 1m so looks like the 16mm2 will do
