The system is well designed to cover any electrical needs. The pump takes a max. of 180-500W/15-40A in these ~23 seconds and the battery can deliver a max. of 760A, if it's in a normal healthy condition. That's the intended purpose and use of a battery.

And a battery gets weakened over years even if it's not used as intended due to internal chemical processes. In our "modern" cars it has to be replaced latest after 10 years, if used as intended or not.
Sure, but that's what I heard and the roof mechanism is quite draining, esp if used repeatedly. So if one solely relies upon the battery as the car engine is not running, doesn't seem like good practice.
