Old fart with a wrench
I can't add anything because I did exactly the same thing on my WJ except I used liquid electrical tape over the exposed copper. It's been a couple of years now with no problems. I usually clean the ends and battery terminals whenever I disconnect for electrical work.
The only thing about the WJ is the battery cables only stick out a couple of inches from a huge bundle of wires that is really stiff and will have to be cut open if it needs to be done again.
