Sometimes if you solder a stranded wire it becomes stiffer of course and it can snap off from vibrations but you'll never get the tin to go all the way to the insulation without melting some of it and exposing the bare copper. Try it though.It don't cost nothing. I didn't think of gas or acid leaking past the posts. I guess it can happen when someone "pounds" the terminals on. A BIG No-No. I'd still check your voltage. New batteries shouldn't gas off like an older calcified one so it might seem that the new batteries fixed a problem. Simply checking that voltage with a known good voltmeter will tell you in a few seconds. I just looked at my batteries today and the terminals are just fine. Just some dust on the neg. ones making them look dirty.
