The shop vacuum managed to pick up most of it that wasn't trapped under the strap.

Pulled the battery and scrubbed everything down with baking soda to a fairly good surface.
Only a little flash rust before two coats of satin black Rustoleum.
The sunroom made it up to about 80F so it dried pretty quickly.

Got a new NAPA battery just because.
The 6 year old Panasonic developing incontinence did not give me good feels.

DUDE You got battery termites!
