Hi,
In the small print somewhere on the site, there is probably the letters
e&oe, meaning errors and omissions excepted. The shop will probably claim
this excuses it from sticking to an 'obvious' mistake like free batteries.
Maybe you would win a case, if you went to court with lawyer, barristers,
etc...
Maybe not.
I'd just order it anyway, and see if it arrives (depends on how automated
the site is)
Keep the order printout so if they charge your credit card, complain to your
card company.
Oh, and can you tell us what site it is so we can all try it?....:)
Cheers,
Alan

If a price on a website is incorrect, how legally binding is it?
I was on a website today, and saw a price for a MD7xx battery for 0.00 and
a postage cost of 1 ukpound.
On the final checkout screen I saw this:
