I’ve had similar recently - it was the battery that had packed in. If you have roadside assistance they should be able to charge/change the battery for you. If battery ok, it could well be the first signs of the alternator, which is not as expensive as it sounds. Fingers crossed for a quick fix.

In the meantime disconnect the battery, although it’s probably already been killed Big Cry

Sorry to hear of your problems & trust they are resolved by now.

Battery or Alternator & battery would be my guess.

I note you have replaced the battery and the alternator will be replaced on Thursday.

Others with more knowledge than I will no doubt respond, but I believe that if the alternator needs replacing you should not run the car, until this has been done, as it may well Censored the new battery.

I would disconnect the negative battery terminal when not in use to make sure the new battery isn't wrecked in the meantime.
