I'm a firm believer in wearing safety goggles when working with batteries, ESPECIALLY when they're charging.

It may have been the battery's time to go. If an internal fault (broken connection) develops INSIDE the battery, they can blow themselves up from the inside, just as quickly as an external spark, at one of the posts will, in the presence of hydrogen from charging.

What machine are you working with that you think you need to disconnect the cables all the time?

If it has a small electrical draw, track that down and fix it.

If you want to disconnect the battery after every use, get a battery disconnect switch.
