So long as the car is OOU while the alternator is cronked, your battery should be OK.

Over-use of the car without an alternator will lead to the battery needing replaced too

as alcazar says so long as you dont use it with the knackered alternator should be ok.

get a trickle charger on it before fitting alternator so battery life is good when ready to fire it up again.
