Pokemon GO uses an insane amount of battery, I have to constantly carry my battery bank around.
I've tried the battery saver mode but it does not seem to have any impact.
What can I do to improve my battery life while playing Pokemon GO?

Best Answer
Offline Maps
One of the biggest ways to save on battery consumption (and data usage too) is to use offline maps.
This can be done by downloading the Google Maps app, going into the settings and selecting "offline maps".
Due to Pokemon Go using the Google Maps API, with this option selected, Pokemon Go will use the map you have previously downloaded in the Google Maps app instead of streaming it as you move around.
General Power Saving
Close as many background apps as you can.
Disable sound (you can also disable vibration but then you will need to constantly be looking at your phone which will invalidate the power saving mode in the game.).
Lower the brightness of the screen and enable black and white mode (android).
Disable bluetooth and wi-fi.
Other
There is a power saving option in Pokemon GO settings.
Disable the AR mode when catching Pokemon or fighting in gyms.
