They shouldn't be able to. Keep all your battery terminals covered, all the time. Electrical tape is the natural choice to put over the ring terminals and bolts on the battery leads. If you get new batteries and aren't able to put leads on them right away, cover the terminals with tape or caps. It's a really small amount of effort to do, and there's just no sense in taking the risk of shorting a battery on anything.
