An alternator is not designed to operate without a battery period, the battery provides a steady field to the stator to maintain the correct output. With a bad or weak alternator the battery will eventually reach a point of discharge so bad that a small current drain will discharge it completely in few hours.
Without that steady voltage the alternator will go wide open because it can't sense any voltage to regulate, it only needs temporary voltage to energize it.
