My monitor brightness decreases dramatically when I
unplug it, how do I reset the brightness when it is
running on batteries?

My tablet pc uses different brightness settings depending on the source of
power too. On the tablet, this can be changed in a special configuration
tool that was installed by the manufacturer.

There may be something similar on your laptop. Check for a separate tool.
If not found try Display> Settings> Advanced and in Power Options to see if
the setting was tucked away in one of these locations.
 
It's not located in power options. Actually, the power change is part of
speedstep if you're using an Intel processor. Most laptop manufacturers provide
a utility that would allow you to change the speedstep settings. For example,
IBM provides the thinkpad configuration utility that does this sort of thing.
Compaq also provides something like it as well, but I can't speak for the other
vendors as these two are the only ones I've worked with.
