DisplayLink drains battery quick

[BottomlessCawfee]

I started using a Plugable Universal Laptop Docking Station, 4K Dual Monitor. I connected two monitors to my 13" MacBook Pro M1. First issue is that YoutubeTV and some other video websites would not play video. More importantly, I noticed that the battery drained rapidly. I probably can get between 4-5 hours of usage. Not really an issue since I have a charger lol but I'm concerned this will destroy my battery lifespan. Any thoughts?
