The Honda 350's will start and run just fine ( it will miss a little)
without a battery, think lawn mower type of ignition, not automotive. They
are self exciting, 3 ph AC output. Find a motorcycle junkyard, and get a
coil from them, Honda made lots of the 350 twins, so it shouldn't be a
problem.
350's will make it home, well the Prince of Darkness sits on the side of the
road.

If the battery is used for the ignition, which I don't know that is or
not, then you'll probably need a battery, not a battery charger.

You can see a listing of parts here
