Don't panic. Wash it off quickly with clean water. You should be fine-acid does not directly attack the skin, and you probably won't be working with anything concentrated enough to cause immediate damage. Even 6M H2SO4 will not have any immediate effects except a bit of stinging.

No, battery acid (sulfuric acid) is not the strongest acid. The Strongest acid is fluoroantimonic acid. Bear in mind the acid in a battery is in a diluted state-not concentrated. Although it could blind you, if it gets on the skin it will create a burning sensation before it does any permanent damage and you can wash it off or neutralize.
