There are battery explosions and there are battery explosions. If the battery is a small cell, wash yourself (or anyone else exposed) with water immediately. It might then be best to either wash down the area with water or to use absorbent material to clean up the mess. Should you have any baking soda available, put some in the water so any affected person can was off immediately.

If it is a lead acid battery that exploded, the best solution is lots of water to wash off and dilute the electrolyte. It's acidic, and it burns. Baking soda sprinkled liberally around at the same time is also good as this will actually neutralize the acid. The first order of business is to get wet yourself if you have any of the acidic electrolyte on you. Second, you'll want to hose down the area and use the baking soda to dilute/neutralize the acid to prevent further damage. People first, property and material second. A call to summon help would also be wise, particularly if someone gets electrolyte in the eyes. Immediately rinse with lots of water and make the call for assistance.
