A ruined battery could catch fire, and some older converters require a working battery in the circuit to run properly. Newer ones typically do not.
So you don't need a great battery in a TC, but it is probably better to remove a ruined one and insulate the battery cable ends, or put in a very small or old but functional battery. A old starting battery that still has a little life will work fine.
