Ha ha that made me chuckle...was a time when I drove more or less everywhere on battery alone! If your battery's in reasonable shape you should be OK for modest trips (as you say, no lights). Not ideal as a longer term situation of course. I seem to remember surviving trips of 250 miles or so. I spent one night on the forecourt of Wolvey Motors in the Nippy waiting for enough daylight to continue my journey...
