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. ...

You are trying to use starting batteries where you should at least be using marine/deep batteries.
Actually, he'd be better not using batteries at all but using a power supply to run the lights.
First, there is a disconnect or poor information here. 8 amps of draw would be a lot of LED lights, enough for 4 typical RV's.
Second, running the lights through the bike's circuitry and using the standard motorcycle battery is the wrong design.
Third, this is for show conditions so the OP should design with that in mind. I'd suggest to install a socket in the light circuit that will facilitate connecting to an external power source. I would use a conventional 12V power supply like the Meanwell that is suggested above. The total cost of the installation and parts mentioned here is less than $50. That is less cost than a single battery.
