Tips to extend battery life for laptops and notebooks

I have a basic Notebook Samsung RV513 with Ati Vision AMD Graphics & chipset but I realized than ubuntu 12.04.1 drains my battery. I checked some forums and help but it said modifying my kernel and bla bla, looks hard to do any other suggestion?

I recommend installing jupiter 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/jupiter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jupiter

and running powertop and changing the tunables

sudo apt-get powertop
sudo powertop
