To all you 12V specialists out there.
Good afternoon Although this is not strictly RV related, I thought that there was a large amount of 12V battery knowledge here so I am going to give it a shot. I have two dissimilar 12V batteries. ...

I am trying to figure out the best way to run all of the lights for 12 hours and keep the bike battery charged to be used for starting at the end of the show.
Disconnect one of the leads to the onboard bike battery and run your lights ONLY from the aux. 12 V source.
If the show is two days, take the aux. battery home with your to charge overnight......or hook a charger up to it of whatever capacity you need to run the lights during the show. The onboard battery won't be discharged (or charged) any and will be fresh and ready to go when it's time to leave.
Problem solved. But you might want to get a new AGM battery for your bike; you probably will need one soon.
IF.....you are always able to have access to 110 V and you DO get a charger of sufficient capacity, your aux. battery can be a small one like what is in the bike; even one you took out of the bike because you thought it was getting a little weak.
AND.....as long as I'm on a roll....if you can match the charger capacity to the light draw closely enough you shouldn't even have to worry about a second battery at all. The charger will run the lights and give a trickle to the battery too.
