Charge or jump it and the alternator will maintain electrical power until you drive to replace battery if it's dead. Or you can just bring the new battery over and install it where it sets. Saves a towing charge. If you were to bypass the electronics, you would still have a dead Jeep.

The battery is fine, I was able to get it charged but, My concern is with not being able to push the car even a few feet while gears are stuck in place because of dead battery . How can this part of system be bypassed

I was thinking it all ran on one battery, and that it was dead. Sorry, but I'm not familiar with this "smart keyless car" system.
