How many hours a week did the battery last you?

Just a few hours.

I used a 12v small appliance dc adapter at the time, the 9v was a backup.
Theyd run about half a day at decent speed. 

I used a 2 battery portable handheld fan once, but the vibrations knocked it down and it broke a specimen.

Taking a theoretical angle: the capacity of a 9V battery is typically 400-500mAh.
A typical 80mm PC fan draws something like 150mA or thereabouts. Theoretically, this will give you maybe 3 hours of fun. However, as the battery discharges, voltage drops and at some point it will drop below the voltage where a 12V fan will run. So in reality, you may get less than 3 hours from that same battery and fan combination.

What helps is that the fan will draw a little less current than its nominal rating if you run it at a lower voltage, so this stretches it a bit. Also, if the fan is already running, it tends to keep running at even fairly low voltages; many computer fans will keep running at around 5V although they won't start at that voltage. So you may notice that after a few hours, the fan stil runs, but if you disconnect it and reconnect it, it'll refuse to restart.

For an static, indoor setup, a wall wart/adapter is a more sensible idea as pointed out earlier.

You can get rechargeable lithium 9v on amazon, but I think I read somewhere that they are actually less than 9v the way lithium batteries work

Dude. Just recreate what's shown in the last picture of that ad/item. It's literally shown there.
