If you let the A/C battery become fully discharged (such as leaving the
master on) there is nothing to self energize the alternator even if you
get it started thru the ground service receptacle (sp?).

It happens sometimes, but recognize that running a battery until it is
discharged flat is one of the worst things you can do to it. The very worst
thing that you can do is run a battery flat and then leave it discharged for any
length of time. It is sort of like us humans after a bad heart attack. They
may bring us back to apparent health, but we will never be quite the same and
our life expectancy will, on average, be significantly reduced.
