It will have to be inspected to see just what caused it to overheat/stall. It may have been the water pump, thermostat, radiator/cap, or worst case scenario blown head/intake gasket. The battery is likely another issue. Get it recharged then have the charging system checked out, most auto parts stores do this for free.
