Battery save

The best way to save battery is to find out what is using your power and then deal with the causes.

So my recommendation is to install GSam Battery Monitor (or similar, e.g. Better Battery Stats), let the phone run through a normal cycle (from fully charged) then use that app to find out what your main power drains are. Of course you can always do the obvious things: don't turn the brightness up higher than you need, don't let every app that wants to sync every 5 minutes do so, etc.

Whatever you do avoid apps called "Battery Saver", "Battery Doctor" or similar. What those things do is described in this thread, and it's really not helpful.
