Some cars do this.
My friend's Honda literally stopped combustion when his battery died while driving (no, I have no idea how, but that was the diagnosis).
In contrast, I've limped my Miata along on alternator-only when the battery wouldn't hold a charge. Note: feathering the gas at a stop with brakes and clutch depressed to keep your spark from dying is an "interesting" experience.
