Hi there, Well I would recommend the following:

Turn your wireless off!
Switch your power plan to "Power Saver"
take a spare battery just in case
don't plug anything USB into it or it will draw power from the laptop. and don't use it unnecessarily

.
Go into power settings and set the screen to turn off in the shortest time you're comfortable with. The screen is probably the biggest power draw on the battery.
