Answer is it varies. What kind of battery? Is it fully charged? How old is it? Is there a bad cell? Were the lights on? No way to know for sure but you can get your battery tested to make sure it's good.

No it will not kill a healthy battery in 10 minutes. Was ignition in on or ACC? Only thing I could see is if you had it in the on position and had the seat heaters going too. Your battery is likely on its way out though.

headlights are a huge battery drain as well.

I sat for almost 45 minutes listening to an audiobook over lunch one day and it started right up afterwards. Just a normal off the shelf battery from Autozone, nothing special.
