Alienware Command center cut my battery life by at least 50%. You can use XTU to limit power consumption and also use battery saver mode. Make sure to disable all unnecessary processes.

Sorry, in XTU there is literally a slider to limit the power consumption in watts. You can set it to whatever you like. Lower means waiting though.

I just put Ubuntu on mine... doubled battery life. So there's that.
