whenever i connect my battery up it sparks. my dad says it shorting out somewhere. but i cant find where it is if it is shorting out
so any help would be appreciated
Adam
that's normal. as you bring the terminals close together they'll arc. it should stop when you make proper contact tho.
yea it stops it after a while (put it on it sparks, take it off then put back on it sparks but not as much, take it off then put back on it doesnt do it at all)
i was just a bit worried.
thanks for the help
Adam
I had this bit of a problem, i just cleaned the connectors with some of that Steel wool stuff, And yeah didnt spark or make a sound ever again.

after you have cleaned them put vasilene on the terminals, it stops them rusting and it stops that white powder shit form on the terminal. My 2cents
