Yes, it can be.

Left the lights on one evening, older battery, and after a couple of hours
there wasn't enough left to crank the engine.

A good, hard shove from another car got it going - JUST - and we really
should have jumped it instead.

Push start is a last resort - carry jumpers (good policy in any case).
