Watts=Voltage*Amps
5.3=12*Amps Amps=5.3/12=.45 which is close to 0.5 amps
So, the 10 amp-hour battery will last a comfortable 20 hours.
Sort of...But you need to look at the battery ratings. A 10 amp-hour battery discharging more than 0.5 amps will definitely not have full rating. If you discharge at 6 amps, it will discharge in 1 hour.
