I personally can see the AA's point of view.
If the battery is in good condition and you are running it down by using a wfp pump it isn't their problem.
You could consider using a battery charger to top up your battery every week or so.

My fuel tank lasts me about 400 miles. I drive use my van to drive 500 miles before filling up so I call the AA. The AA won't bring me more diesel.

AA bad.  ::)roll
