You will need to buy a new battery for your laptop in order to work away from a receptacle I'm afraid. As far as maximizing battery life, be sure it's set to portable/laptop in the power options. And make the screen go blank and hard drive spin down fairly quickly when running on battery too.
battery's dead, but blow out the cooling anyway - it makes a difference. If not that much now, then when you get the new battery.
