no, you just have to get power in the battery depending on the year of the car and how much stuff runs on battery will depend on how far you can go but if the battery is dead then NOTHING will work at all you need power in order for the coils to fire off the cylinders and to ignite the stator in the alternator to start charging however you can still run a car without an alternator but you must have battery power no matter what
