Default Fat red cable to starter from battery getting hot?

Hi all,
Dunno if this is normal but on my Orion 1.6i Ghia mfi the big red cable from the starter motor to the battery gets really hot at the battery...? If this isn't normal what could be wrong? The cable looks a bit tired with one or two cracks so maybe a new one? Also the battery light glows at night with the lights on but its a new alternator (55amp) if thats anything to do with it?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
David
