Yes active pickups need a battery. No they wont work without it.
Heres how an active works
(rediculously cheap underwound pickup) --> preamp (powered by battery) --> pots, input, all that jazz.
if theres no battery, the preamp will not have power, and if the preamp doesnt have power, it will act as a wall and will block what little current comes from the pickup. Its just like plugging into a guitar pedal with no power: it will silence you.

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!
