"small" menas different things to different people.

Having said that... it could well be inrush current.
If it doesn't blow fuses etc then its probably fine.

If you are really concerned put the +ve of the controller to a small wattage 12 Volt light globe and the other side of the globe to the battery +ve.

If it glows bright you have a short, if it doesn't glow then it is probably all OK.
