No. The pulse coils on the stator provide the supply to the CDI and coil.
I haven't tried starting mine without the battery in place, but it started no differently when it had a battery that was putting out 6.3V that it does with a nice new battery putting out 12.8V.
There are also quite a few folks that have successfully replaced the battery with a capacitor, which provides a sink current for the regulator and some smoothing.
