Yeah itll run just fine

Ive ran a car for 45 miles with no battery, just fired it up (with battery) rmeoved the battery and went on my way in an emergency

Ive also had a alt belt snap on me and I made it I think about 15miles home just fine (lights off)

So yeah, car runs without them

yes, both.


as the battery runs dry though (with no alternator) you lose lights, tach, etc.
