Use baking soda to neutralize lead-acid or nickel cadmium spills. These types of battery can leak a strong acid, which eats through clothing, carpet, or in some cases even metal. Approach it with protective gloves and face shield, and cover liberally with baking soda, until newly added baking soda does not cause additional fizzing or bubbling. Clean up remaining residue using a thick paste made from baking soda and water.
Also pour baking soda into the trash bag containing the damaged battery
Number one is a very good answer and you should be able to clean it up nicely. I would also consider ceiling it and adding a nice coat of garage floor paint
