Dell L521X - Windows 10 Low Battery Life

I use a Dell L521X - XPS 15 and have windows 10 installed. The battery life on windows 8 was 3 hours, with a usage of around 13 - 15,000 mWh. For a battery of 60,000 mWh that is pretty decent. 

On windows 10 i get a usage of 20 - 23,000 mWH which is horrendous and a battery life of 2 hours that is a 33% decrease in Battery life. I really cant understand such a bad battery performance and a drastic drop like this. Any suggestions for turning this around ? It will be useful to other people as well facing this problem.

Any news on this issue? I dont know why my battery life differed so much from yours actually. Had around 5h with Win 8.1 and now with Win10 2.5h. Did your fan always run under Win8.1?
