I would consider using a deep cycle battery with an isolator. The deep cycle will allow you to run the lights for a much longer time without risking the starting battery. The isolator will allow the second battery to be charged only when needed, by alternating the charge between the two batteries. Don't forget to use a relay to prevent the possibility of fire due to overheating wires or switches.
