In some cases, you can. 

I had a battery go deader than a doornail. I went to the mall, had the car
parked for 15 minutes. Came back out, NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, wouldn't even make
the door dinger ding.....

I got a jump and drove directly to get a new battery. In the process, while
entering the wal mart parking lot, I clicked the key off to see if I could pop
it........no way, wasn't happening. So I bought a new battery and it was all
better.

Although, I would imagine that during a normal "left the headlights on, car
won't start" deal, the batt would probably have enough juice to energize the
alt and start the car.
