No, it won't kill the output, but probably isn't a very good idea.
I'm not 100% positive but I thought I read that running without batteries can damage your DC charging circuit.
I would double check before doing it... but, I have a hunch you already did and now have an AC output problem??
If so, can you elaborate on what exactly happened?

Looking at the diagrams and it shouldnt, But i do recall a procedure for testing the alternator circuit with a resistor, SOOO it might not be the best idea to run it with no battery

One problem is that without a battery, the high amount of ripple on the battery charging circuit often destroys the RF noise suppression capacitors at the fuel pumps and maybe other locations I can't think of. If one of those decides to become a short circuit, you'd lose all 24v.
