A 12V, 10 Amp-Hour battery has a nominal 120 Watt-hours of energy

It should last about 120/5.3 = ~22-23 hours.

The reality is the AH rating is at a specific discharge rate, which is usually 20 hours. Which is pretty close to your discharge rate. If you had a larger load, say 20 Watts, the discharge rate is much higher and the energy lost to heating is more. You would probably only get 8-9 Amp-Hours.
