Wash mouth out: First, don't lick battery acid! Second, was it a battery or battery acid? Can't find any info online for GoldenPower battery acid, just batteries. If it was acid, and only a small amount then you should wash your mouth out several times with water taking sure to not swallow.

Poison Control: I don't know what the equivalent is in Great Britain, but I would suggest calling your Poison Control Center or equivalent of to see what they suggest you do for treatment of the slight ingestion. Even if it was just a little bit, you need medical attention.
