S!

In modern jets if you lose the generator then batteries are designed to work for about 30min(back-up instruments and some other systems), to give you time to get to safe or even land if possible. The engines run and if they do then are the hydraulics working, but with batteries the FCS computers won't work as they require more voltage than a battery can provide, so you are on a backup system that gives limited aircraft control. This causes landing speed to be high thus in most cases it is safer to eject after flying out to a safe area. In a WW2 plane you could land easier and have less hassle if losing the generator and running on battery..depending on the plane of course.
