Can we run Wagon R or Alto if Hybrid battery failed

[Dhaham 9]

Dear friends

If we don't consider the fuel efficiency, can we drive Wagon R or Alto as a normal petrol car if Hybrid battery has expired?

Yes it can be run 

But with an array of dashboard indicators 

Also without the hybrid battery, the boost from the ISG, the power output will be horrendously low.

In Some vehicles the high power electronics systems like Brake boost, AC, power steering are supplied by the High voltage battery. So they may also not work.

I have used the Hustler I had a few years ago without the battery, took it out for weatherproof carpeting and it worked, so ran without it for 2 days. The yellow "@" light keeps blinking. Its a bit low on power. Just that. 

No interference with the steering, brakes and Aircon. 100% certain.
