Battery cable sparking when connecting it to a battery can occur due to a few reasons. The most common cause is that there is a load on the electrical system, causing current to flow when the cable makes contact. Additionally, poor connections or damaged cables can create arcing. Always ensure the vehicle is turned off and disconnect any accessories to minimize the risk of sparks.
