  The old automotive lead clamps on tapered round posts, on the other hand, gave me trouble more than once.
The garages where I grew up used to sell little round pads soaked with petroleum jelly for those posts, I have only had a problem where thy were put together without grease.
No, I wouldn't solder then either.
Remember the days when batteries has the cell connectors on top, they were sweated together.

That was a nationwide thing.  I thought they were allegedly soaked with some basic goo to neutralize acid.  I know for sure they were an easy way for the battery seller to get a little extra profit.   :)
