Maintenance/Repairs

I just installed a new Starter for my 97’ Nissan Pick-up and when I tried to reconnect the battery it started turning over by itself and the battery was arcing. I connected everything on the starter correctly as far as I know and just wanted to know what are the possible reasons that my truck is trying to start itself if I try to reconnect the battery. Did I install the starter wrong? Or is there another issue that I need to address. Also I just got a new battery as well that is larger than the last so I am not sure if that may be part of the problem. Thanks!
