QUOTE (CAcelica29 @ Jan 29, 2013 - 5:37 PM)  why would the battery spark though, if its new (from october) It is when you connect the pole to the battery... It will spark because you will have a "bad connection" Momentarialy and it will make a spark if its drawing any current. You can hear the sparking if you balance a lightswitch between on and off. Because there isnt enough contact between the two sides of the switch, it will come a spark.... |
