Killer Amps
I want to pull ten amps out of a little 35 ah battery for one hour and then fully recharge. Will this heavy draw destroy the battery? I know it is a small battery.

How much heat do I need to make a camper shell a little warmer on a sixty degree morning? Not much. I am not trying to heat a house. I am more concerned with the effect on the battery than on whether it will warm me up or not.
That small a heater will take quite a while to get it done. How long is ok?
A 100w incandescent light bulb gets pretty hot (if you can find one for sale anymore :( ) but you have to disperse the heat. A fan maybe. (more battery draw) Would one 100w bulb get it done in an hour? How close are you going to be to the "heater"?
A hairdryer is say 1500w. If you left one on inside how long would it take to heat up the place enough? So how would a 100w heater do?
You can do a BTU calculation for the 100w heater and compare that to running your furnace of known BTU size for how long the furnace takes to do that.
