Battery liveliness can be affected by many factors on GNU/Linux platform. 1) Make sure you use on demand CPU governor or powersave one. 2) Install laptop-mode-tools which can slow down your disc when on battery 3) Check your power management (in my case gnome-power-preferences) to tune screen light and other features 4) Make sure services You use are battery safe. For example if You use hdaps, install latest version from tp-smapi source. This one does not poll continuously from sysfs and also saves lots of battery.
