You need to backup and first figure out what the AMP requirements/draw is for the lights you want to run. If your generator isn't putting more than that out, then you'll be drawing down your battery. As far as the generator cooking the battery - that will depend on the type of cutout or voltage regulator you have. Also, you don't want to overwork the generator . . . bad things can happen when they get too hot.
