If any sparking it should be very minor. These units suggest attaching charge cables to the battery before plugging into the AC wall outlet.

Yes, I have the exact same charger but with different results from others. I tried charging a motorcycle battery (with the "motorcycle" setting) and it attempted to boil away the electrolyte. I tried charging a 12V deep cycle battery that still had enough power to get the solenoids for a pump to click. I was watching the display and it jumped to 28V. Over the course of a minute or two the voltage didn't come down and I started to smell battery acid. I ended up charging the deep cycle battery with a regular charger. After the regular charger had dropped to a low charge rate, I disconnected it and connected the Yonhan charger and put it into pulse repair mode. A couple of previous lister's comments mentioned the short cables and the spark when the charger was connected. I had the battery on the floor and the charger on top of it due to cable length issues. I disconnected one of the leads from the charger to the battery to check the battery voltage. When I reconnected the lead to the battery, the battery exploded and blew out one side and part of the top. My ears were ringing for the next 20 minutes from the blast. Be careful out there!
