replace the alt before you buy another battery.

most new batteries arent fully charged to begin with. most of the time people will stick them on that charger overnight before they put them in. thats what i do in my boat and i have no problems.

its not the alt if the car has just been sitting around and still the battery died.

if there is a spark when you connect the battery then you have a short which means something is on or is not grounded correctly.

You're completing a circuit, there's almost always a small spark.
