Before the RAC/AA arrive, get a quote for a new battery from online dealer, and save the quote. When the RAC/AA tells you the price of the battery, don’t collapse, tell him you have got a price and who from. He will want to see it. Show him and you will get the battery at that price. Friend of mine did that in front of me when his battery went kaput.
