Yes and No.
Connecting an additional monitor to your MacBook Pro 2020 Core i5 will increase the overall power consumption because the MacBook has to supply power to drive the external display. While this will lead to faster battery drain too. The impact depends on factors such as the type of monitor, and resolution too.

For general usage, the difference may not be very significant, but if you're running graphic-intensive tasks (like video editing or gaming) on an external monitor, the battery could drain noticeably faster.

But using an external monitor won't directly decrease the overall lifespan of your MacBook's battery.
Keep your MacBook plugged in when using an external monitor for extended periods.
