I learned this from the service department at OP Jeep yesterday. At idle, the alternator does generate enough juice for the engine to run, and it pulls from the battery. If the battery is low, it will set off error codes and die. However, you will have enough juice to re-start, but then of course it will die again.
We learned this with the Commander, because it had enough juice to turn over, it would not run. Jumped fine from the truck.
