If you are not getting much out of your battery, it might be old. You could get a fresh one.
You could kill any programs you're not using...
Avoid processor-intensive apps such as PhotoShop...
 
I have always heard that you are having problems with your laptop battery charging, you should let it drain completely and then charge for a full 10-16 hours without using it and then see if it works.

I know that my battery drained quickly due to my charger not charging the battery properly because there was a problem with the connection which was common in that particular laptop.
 
What kind of battery do you have?
