Can you charge a car battery with a motorcycle battery charger?
Unless it's an old vw bug, cars usually run on a 12 volt dc system nowadays. Motorcycles often run on a 6 volt dc system. Different systems require different charging voltages so you won't ever be able to charge a 12 volt car battery from a 6 volt motorcycle battery charger as the output voltage would be way too low. However, if you can set the battery charger's output to give either a 6 or a 12 volt output, then you must always remember to set it to 12 volts if you want to use it to charge a 12 volt car battery.
What charger do you need for a 12v motorcycle battery?

No, a 12 volt 12 amp deep cycle battery will not keep your motorcycle running. A deep cycle battery is one that can survive repeated deep discharge cycles.

The proper solution to your problem is to fix the cause of the charging system problem in your bike. Besides, if you check the specifications on the required battery, you will probably discover that it is rated for much more than 12 amps.
