    Besides replacing it, no. Li-po battery cells have a limited lifespan. Any changes in power set up would only have a very small effect on battery life.

    How old is it? If it's under a year or so and still under warranty you should probably try and get a replacement.

    for future referance, just remove your battery from the laptop when it's not being used. increase it's life a little.

    also, dont strain your battery when you are using it. ie, dont be running a demanding task while having the screen at full brightness and running music at full volume. your battery doesnt like this
