The battery is decomposing, and sulfuric acid is leaking out. Remove and dispose of this battery immediately. Make sure that you remove any acid or powdery residue from all exposed surfaces (including your hands and clothes), as sulfuric acid can destroy flesh, metal and fabrics. Preferably rinse with lots of water for about 5 minutes. If you cannot flush your exposed device with water, blot as much of the acid as you can with a disposable towel or cotton swab (recommend wearing nitrile gloves). Then sparingly sprinkle some baking soda (a common household neutralizer, aka sodium bicarbonate) on any remaining residue and clean everything well with a water-dampened disposable towel or cotton swab.

Strong sulfur smell may be an indication the converter needs to be changed. This can also be a symptom of a leaking battery.
