You have to try the acpi_call method. Here you can find instructions.
Before trying acpi_call uninstall nvidia drivers, and, in bios, go back
to enhanced sata mode, then reboot.

If not, the acpi_call will turn off your nvidia card and you got a black
screen.

You should find, running ./test.sh, that
echo "\_SB.PCI0.P0P1.VGA._OFF" > /proc/acpi/call
works.

 Use Powertop, or 
grep rate /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
to check battery consumption. 

You should have about 8.500~9.000mW
