A bad cell in the battery, ie battery's(11VDC) or under will not allow to start a car in the first place.
Six Zener diodes in the bridge are used to redlctify alternating voltage in Delta wound stator windings. A dead cell in the battery would not have anything to do with six Zener diodes.
In a good alternator, it would still supply above 12VDC to the battery terminals even if battery is not connected or isn't there.
The charging indicator lamp is also influenced by the voltage from the stator winding via terminal D+ on the regulator. The difference in voltage between the two sides of the charging indicator lamp levels out and the lamp goes out. In this way, an indication is obtained that the generator is charging.
