Yes, but if you ran it all night it would have amounted to a sizable amount of power.
7 amps for 10 minutes means perhaps 5AH over one hour since the fan does not run all the time. Add that up over 10 hours and you get 50AH. If over 12-13 hours (from when it gets cold where we camp until it starts to get warm) you get 60-65AH. That alone was half of the usable power from our original wet cells and goes a long way to make up the difference between our usage of 80-90AH and @Wiley1 usage of 180AH.
