Can someone tells me ... how can i tell whether my battery is "conventional" .. "low maintenance" .. "maintenance free" ?

I need to know this in order to charge my battery from a charger

Thank you :D

I got a serious question, after screwing in the positive terminal on the new battery I bought today the NEGATIVE TERMINAL started sparking as I was trying to screw in the negative cable. What does the sparking mean? I know I'm hooking the cables in the right order, could it have something to do with my socket wrench or something else? PLEASE ANYONE WITH THE KNOW HOW POST a comment on this problem, MUCH APPRECIATED.

Okay so the red wire is positive one and the other is negative!! But how would we know about battery terminals? I mean how would I know which one is a positive termainal and which one is a negative one? And should I Attach the positive wire with positive termainal or positive wire with negative termainal?? I hope u can understand...I NEED HELP BADLY!!!!
