MikeZ is an unknown quantity at this point
Paul, I believe that the alternators need a minimal line voltage fro the batteries to kick in. There is in "exciter" inside the alternator that must be energized. The engines will start and run on a jump due to the magnetos but the alternators won't kick in. This would not happen if there was at least some juice in the battery. You need a new battery.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Mike
