The straightforward answer to this question is YES, Enabling dual 4G in an android phone does drain the battery, But it's a very small amount of power, considering most smartphone nowadays has at least 4500 mAh - 5000 mAh of battery capacity.

If you have a modern smartphone and is skeptical about enabling dual 4G then, I assure you that you can enable dual 4g without thinking a lot since it's a negligible amount of energy spent by the components to reach for the signal in the newer phones, It's a no-brainer to enable it.

Now the question is why does it need more energy to have two sims enabled, The answer is pretty simple and most people would have already guessed it. That is that the android phone or iPhone has to search and connect to a signal from the tower nearby for both the sims at the same time.

The power consumption is more by the battery when the smartphone is searching for the signal than that for the signal to be connected to a phone tower.
