Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.
ƒ
Don't use a live wallpaper for your Home screen. Animation effects are nice to
show off to other people but they drain your battery.
Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can also help a little.
The less color is displayed, the less battery is used.

Battery optimization helps extend battery standby time. See
optimization for apps
ƒ
Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes
include battery performance improvements.
ƒ
Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even when you're not
using them. If there are apps that you don't need anymore, uninstall them.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the app can still
prevent it from continuously running or syncing data. See
page 257.
Limit background data and sync
Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many apps syncing
data in the background. It's recommended not to let apps sync data too often.
Determine which apps can be set with longer sync times, or sync manually.
ƒ
In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are being
synced in your online accounts. When the battery is starting to run low,
temporarily disable syncing some data.
