Yes Jay!
Modern batteries can do that.  Did it in my 1994 Ford Probe way back then.
No warning signs.  Was parked 50 miles from home,
went to start it an "dead as a doornail".  After a jump, was able to drive
it home on the alternator though.

I sure wonder what Tym means by "dead as a doornail".  I doubt it is what
all the other guys are suggesting...

My "dead as a doornail" comment.......
No electricity, no electric fuel pump, no lights, no radio, no horn - nothi=

            If the car just died it's hard to put the blame on the battery.=
&nbsp; If you managed to start the car, the battery can't be in very bad sh=
ape.&nbsp; If you were to completely disconnect the battery while the car i=
s running, it would continue to run on the generator.&nbsp; If you're sure =
it's an electrical&nbsp;problem I would start by checking out the ignition =
system - points, coil, condenser, ballast&nbsp;resistor.
