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.

I heat myself electrically with a 12v heating pad/ car seat heater.
45 to 55 watts can be felt through clothes in under a minute and soon after my core is warm and so then are my extremeties. Heating the surrounding air just seems too wasteful.
But I have used my 200 watt lasko heater under my blankets in winter powered by my inverter, for 15 to 20 minutes or so. The unit will shut itself off if it gets too hot, but 99.9 percent of the time I shut it off as it is no longer required.
I once routed the rocker switch of my interter to near my bed so i did not have to waste 0.6Ah each hour after i fell asleep having the inverter on powering nothing.
The 45 watt heating pad also gets uncomfortably hot before the bimetal switch opens the heating circuit, sometimes.
TomG2, try one of the car seat heaters.
