Can a 2018 Volt run without AC and not hurt the battery?

What is your question?

I have a 2018 Volt and AC is broken, I've been told there was a freon leak and it took out the compressor and other components. While I'm trying to fix it can I still run and charge the car without damaging anything else? I'm most concerned about the battery. I don't know if for some strange reason the AC cools the battery while its charging or something like that. I only ask because the dealer I went to knew nothing about the volt and couldn't tell me for sure that the AC was only for the cabin.
