1* Switch off the wireless card if you do not plan to access your network or Internet connection. there is a button for powering on and off your wireless device is found on the toolbar at top.
2* Turn the volume level down, or mute it, if you do not plan to use it.
3* Reduce the LCD's brightness level. If you use your laptop in a well lit area or outdoors on a sunny day, try setting it at two or three bars.
4* Disable Bluetooth. If you don't use this device, you can safely disable it to avoid draining your laptop's battery.
5* Avoid extreme temperatures. Batteries rely on basic chemistry and will die faster at extreme temperatures. Try to charge and use the battery at room temperatures.
6* Unplug external devices such as a USB mouse or an external drive.
7* Shut down or hibernate the laptop rather than using standby, if you plan on not using it for a while. Standby continues to drain energy to keep your laptop ready to go when you open the cover.
8* Keep the battery fresh. Batteries leak power if they aren't used fairly soon after charging. If you use your "full" battery 2 weeks after you last charged it, you may discover it is empty.
9* Defrag your hard drive. The more fragmented your hard drive is the more your hard disk needs to work.
10* Avoid using a CD or DVD. If you store a copy of data you need on an optical disc, copy it to your laptop's hard drive or a thumb drive before traveling. Optical drives consume large amounts of power to spin up CD's and DVDs.
11* Use a cooling pad when using a notebook computer on your lap. But if it's a USB pad then don't use it as it will most likely use up more battery rather than to conserve it.
12* Avoid propping your laptop on a pillow, blanket, or other soft surface that can heat up.
13* If your laptop has an OLED based display then avoid displaying white images. OLED screens consume a lot less power displaying black.
14* If your not using a internet browser, CLOSE IT!(Turn of wireless radio) Even if your not using it the internet is still running in the background getting lot's of information.
External Devices
15* Eject the external devices like pen drive, DVD, Hard Disk etc. if not in use
Use Expose
16* Take a break if your battery is running low.
17* Use the battery till it's low(20%) before you charge it and when its charged un-plug it and your battery will last longer plus give better performance.
18* Clean your desk. It sounds strange, but if you have a dusty, dirty desk, that dust will get into the vents and clog the cooling fan.
19* While gaming remove battery and use it as desktop that saves your battery to a large extinct
