Battery is new, 6 months old. I turn the key and everything is normal. When I turn to start it is like the battery instantly loses a lot of its charge and everything dims. Have to wait a while for it to get its "full" charge. Cable issue or is it something bigger. Will do the same with a battery jump starter.

 

starter gone bad or a short

 

The sparks came when the positive was tried to be connected.

The crank is the same type of crank when the battery is dead.

Gonna go and try and jump it with the new batter in it now. Only difference is it sat over night and there is a brand new battery from Walmart in the truck.
