with the ign light on and the brush pack changed you have already tested it.
you'll get confirmation at the repair shop one way or another

I am 99% certain you can drive it like that. It ain't going to suddenly chuck 48 Volts around your wiring or owt like that. The worst I can see happening is at some point it will fail and then just stop charging.

Yep, it wouldn't be too long before battery flattens - minutes if you had your light on.
