Yes. Expect a hit on battery life when using a wireless card in a laptop. How much of a drain on battery life varies according to model of laptop and battery. Obviously, how much you’re using the laptop will have a big effect, too. Your operating system and the software you installed with your card will probably have utilities for conserving battery life.
