yeah, it's because the internal resistance of the capacitors that are used on the controller are near 0 ohm when unused/uncharged. the 2nd time you plugged it in, it's likely that there still was some juice in them left, so that's the reason it didn't spark the 2nd time.

If you swapped the poles on the batteries, the spark woult be quite a bit bigger..
