I'm hoping it's just the battery, but I realize it might be the alternator. I'm just wondering how batteries work, like if they're needed when the vehicle is running. If we get it started but it won't charge can I still drive?

Thank you, my partner probably checked but I'll make sure. And luckily I have distilled water
