*Close Background Running Applications.
In simple terms, anything your laptop does, requires power. Therefore, when your laptop is running on battery, shutting down applications that you aren’t using instead of minimizing it to Windows taskbar is preferable.
This important to extend laptop’s battery life because all these add to the CPU load and consumes battery power/life
*Turn Down Display Brightness.
Laptop’s screen with lager display (14-inch to 18-inch) is the single component that consumes a lot of battery power. To avoid this battery loss you can lower down screen brightness to the dimmest setting you can tolerate.
However, you might need to increase brightness depending on where you are. For instance, if you’re sitting under direct sunlight you’ll have to increase screen brightness.
*Turn off Bluetooth and Wireless Connections.
You need laptop’s Bluetooth and wireless connection to send and receive file or to connection with people around the world. But when you aren’t using these connections turn them off.

The Windows operating  system allows you to setup and optimize battery power supply. In control panel find power option and set it up as per your requirement.
