I usually play at the bare minimum to conserve battery life.
You play with 1 brightness? Don't you find that a detracts from the experience?

Has battery life really been an issue for you or are you just paranoid?

Level 4 brightness with no powesaving mode, 3D on, and mid volume. With all these settings on and the Nyko power pack on the back, I get about five to five and a half hours of battery life.

I use power-saving mode and half the time I mute it and I never have internet connection on unless I am using it.

For me... Level 3 brightness with power-saving mode on, wifi on, max volume and 3D off(Unless it's a new game or the 3D is really awesome).

I only use power saving when I'm about to put my 3DS in sleep mode even though that really shouldn't make a difference...Otherwise, I normally have:

Brightness - 3
Volume - Medium
Wi - Fi - Always on
