No.
You'd need some fairly serious converters to go from 12 V to 120 V
The above answer is 100% correct. And may I add that a battery is 12 volts DC (Direct Current) and 120 volts is AC (Alternating Current). These are two totally different currents and they do not mix.

Is the car battery the only source of electrical power in your car?
The battery is the storage device for electricity in the vehicle. However the alternator is what creates electricity to keep the battery fully charged and to run all the electronics in the vehicle.

What can happen if you jump a car battery with an indoor extension cord?
120v is what is in the socket at your house, your battery is at 12.6v. My guess is your battery would get hot and boil, releasing hydrogen which is explosive. And you run the risk of destroying many of your very sensitive computers, but more likely you would just pop your fuses.

No, the battery supplies the energy to run the car.
Can you use 120V lamps in Europe by just putting in a 240V bulb and a European adapter on the plug?
If all the components are rated to 220V, yes. Keep in mind that if the appliance was designed for 110V it may arc if 220 is run through it. If you don't know the device can handle 220V, don't run it at 220V. Chances are it was manufactured cleaply and cannot handle the extra voltage.
How do you charge a battery using a battery eliminator?
You do not charge a battery using a battery eliminator. The eliminator is not a charger, it is an eliminator that allows you to run the device.
How long should you run your car after a jump start?
The car boosting should run for ten minutes or so. The car with the dead battery will need to be charged for 8 hrs with a battery charger, but as long as the battery is good a 1hr run will likely allow the car to start again.
Should you disconnect your battery if you know the alternator has gone bad?
Only disconnect it when ready to replace the alternator. The primary function of the battery is to store electricity needed to start the car. Secondarily, it stores electricity for use powering the electrical items on the car when the engine is off. If the alternator is not producing sufficient power to run the engine, the battery takes over. Once the battery is drained of its power, the engine will stop. You can jump-start a car whose alternator is faulty but battery is connected, and the car may run for a short time before the battery dies. If there is no battery, the car will start but not stay running once the jump device or cables are disconnected.
