No. Higher voltage means there is something new inside the DualSense that requires a higher voltage to operate reliably than some stuff inside the old controller. It doesn't say anything about the mA required for this (though rumours have it that haptics requires less mA than rumble).
Any discussion about "How much longer will the DualSense last" is pointless as there is no information (yet) about power draw.
