The 12 volt fan will draw 100 mA from a 12 volt battery. You don't need to do anything to reduce the current. Your battery rating is probably really 1100 mAh; 1100 milliAmp-hours. You should get 11 hours of operation from your 1100 mAh battery if your fan is only drawing 100 mA.
All battery is DC battery. DC is meaning Direct Current. Battery voltage is steady, not change, except reduce when battery go flat.
No. Leave it plugged in. Each discharge and recharge of the battery is a cycle and will reduce the efficacy of the battery. The battery will still age and reduce but a good computer will keep it trickle charged when it is at full capacity preserving or extending its life a bit vs full discharge and recharge every day.
Most charges simply reduce power when the battery is fully loaded. If you're in a hurry, look for when the charge current drops.

You need a regulator.
The battery life on a Dell Inspiron 6400, 9 cell battery can last anything from 3h30mins to 5h30mins. The mainly depends on how the power saving mode has been set, when you reduce the computer's performance you save battery life.
As the lamps are identical, and all three draw a current of 6 A, then each lamp must be drawing 2 A. So, with one of the lamps disconnected, the current drawn from the supply will reduce to 4 A.
A: Any resistance added in series will reduce the current unfortunately will also reduce the voltage

To increase the current you either need to reduce the resistance of the load or increase the voltage. Typically a higher wattage light bulb will decrease resistance or you could put multiple batteries in series.
You blew a thousand dollars on a computer. Of course you reduce no costs.
With no load attached, a battery can measure full voltage (potential). However, as soon as a load is put on it (current s drawn), the internal resistance in a defective battery will also draw current thus reduce output. If this is a car battery, have your local service station or garage do a cranking power test; thisi will prove if the battery is good or not. Be sure to take you old defective battery to your local recyling depot as it contains lead (poisonous metal) adn corrosive Sulfuric acid). Cheers Malcolm
