It shouldn't cause a problem of itself; battery life is
governed by a few factors, including your screen which will
probably have backlighting, the way your hard drive is set
up to work, the speed of your processor and so on. Did your
laptop come with any utilities for power management? It can
be worth looking there, if you have it; sometimes you can
tell such utilities to throttle the CPU while on battery. If
your utility lets you, you can also turn your screen off, or
if not you can direct the output to a nonexistent external
monitor with a VGA dummy plug; that will help to extend your
battery life.

Hope this helps,
