Percentage of power saved by reducing the brightness depends on several factors such as Screen size, Number of Backlights used, Edge lit etc..... but generally you can simply add 30 to 60 minutes of life by lowering the brightness to 50 to 60 %.ÂIn many modern PCs you can find the shortcut key to lower the brightness. Incase if you don't find one you can open the Windows Mobility Center and adjust the brightness by pressing Windows + X key.
2. Adjust the Power Settings

Wifi with higher decibel milliwatts will have a higher signal range with uses more Power and Wifi with lower decibel milliwatts will have a lower signal range which uses less Power. Most of the moden Laptops comes with Wifi having higher decibel milliwatts. So it is advisable to turn it off.
For turning off the Wifi manually,

And also remove peripheral devices such as USB flash drive and Webcam when you don't need them. Do not forget to mute the speakers if you don't need for a sound.6. Close Background Programs

As a result it may cause too much Heat to build inside which decreases the Battery life. And also placing the PC where it might get hot such as near a window that get direct sunlight can also make the PC get Hot.ÂSo always make sure that the Air Vents that expel the heat out are not blocked and remove the Battery and let it cool down.
