You do need to increase the brightness level when running on battery power. This is going to be a setting in your BIOS that you will have to change for that laptop.

To enter the BIOS press F12 (I think) when booting up. Look for your "VIDEO" settings and then find the "BRIGHTNESS" setting while running on "battery". Set this setting accordingly (to the max if you want). This will eat your battery up faster though, so be prepared for that. Exit the BIOS and save the changes and you should be good to go.
