That drains your battery so your next star is a hot start. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a GPU.
I am currently operating a TBM 850, we replace batteries every two years, after a typical one hour flight, operating the starter for 30 seconds has no detrimental affect on the start, a typical voltage indication during a start is still 21 volts.
