I would start with removing a battery cable and try to get a charge in the battery.
Or put in a known charged battery, see if there is a spark when the last cable is connected.
If a major spark, stop! Something is wrong. Could be mouse damaged wiring, a serious short.
If a small spark, something is draining the battery. Check for accessories left on, damaged alternator, corroded connection. Sometimes the back of the ignition switch, fuse block, or any connection exposed to moisture, mouse pee, battery acid, will grow corrosion which can be conductive.
A quick check for a simple system like an old tractor or any pre computer vehicle is to put an incandescent test light in series between the battery and the disconnected cable. A dim glow with an internally regulated alternator is normal. A bright glow indicates something substantial is draining the battery.
