I pulled them out and made a thick mixture of baking soda and water. I basted the battery box and the underside of the wings with the mixture and thoroughly rinsed the area. Is there anything else I need to do?
On a related note, how do I dispose of these batteries? I have heavy, leaky, corrosive items that I really don't want spilled all over my vehicle. Will a Rubbermaid container work?

you already did one
now make a more "liquid" mixture and fill up a garden sprayer with it.
Spray everything in site.
now take ye-old garden hose and hose it down yet again with just water.
Douse well, do not be stingy with the rinse water.
Let dry, replace batteries,, DO NOT FORGET which wire goes where (paint/take pictures).

Do those compartments again with sodium bicarbonate, only this time with boiling water.

Costco will take them. My question is more about how to transport them.
I would a couple of heavy plastic garbage bags in the bottom of a box.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

Yup.
You can store them in the Rubbermaid® containers until disposal.
Call your local Fire Dept for further instructions.
