That is correct, but I was talking theory, and with a relatively small
current drain, as in running a diesel down the road with lights and all
un-necessary electric consumers off.
Hitting the starter changes the underlying assumptions. In practice, if
you have 100 Amp hours, you might only get 70-80 hours of 1 amp draw due to
operating losses.
In practice, a 100 Amp hour battery may only have 50-60 amp hours available.

That's not quite right. You probably have 50-60 hours of life at 1 amp.
When the battery gets much over 50% discharged, it probably won't have
enough juice to run the starter, and the lights will be noticeably dim.
The radio will probably run a lot longer, but not much else.
