By default, the screen dims to save power when running on the battery.

If you're using Windows 7 (not sure if it still works this way in 8):
There should be a battery icon on the bottom right of you screen, in the taskbar. Click on it, and choose 'adjust screen brightness'.
A window opens and there's a slider on the bottom that you can adjust.
