Yes, 1800 watts divided by 12 volts is a current of 150 amps pulled from the battery, for as long as you run the appliance. Of course, few hair dryers use 1800 watts.

Jim is correct, so if you use 150 amps for an hour, that's 150 amp-hours; if you only use it for 1/4 hour, that's 37.5 amp-hours (for instance).
