The yutes might not even know what a smoking section is these days. On the other hand they might say this post is fire.

"Battery acid sprayed across the area"

One assumes that it was a lithium battery pack. If so, "Battery acid" did not spray across the area. modern Lithium (LiIon, LiPo, LiFe) batteries do not contain acid.

The electrolyte is usually an organic solvent. And there is not a whole lot of it in a battery so it is unlikely to spray very far or very much. (You wouldn't want to get it in your eyes, or leave it on your skin very long though.)

Battery acid ... review at Qantas regarding lithium battery restrictions

I think I see the problem, if someone put battery acid in a lithium battery.

Give a man fire, and he is warm for the night.
Set a man on fire, and he is warm for the rest of his life.

Many of these power banks are cheap, Chinese garbage you can buy on Amazon for peanuts. They shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near an aircraft. There’s plenty of places in airports and on most planes to charge your phones.

I’m a frequent flyer and the only planes that don’t have chargers these days are short, connecting flights.
