If I am understanding this correctly, you have charged the battery and
then removed the
charger(although this is not necessary, since you will still get the
same symptoms). Now you are trying to attach the neg cable to the
battery and you are getting a spark.
What this means is that there is something in your wiring that is
completeing the circuit from your positive
terminal to your negative terminal. This is probably what drained your
battery.
the wiring.
