well depends on the settings...

stand by will waste battery life but hibernation doesnt, so what i do is whenever i wanna put my laptop away i hibernate it and it comes back up within 10 seconds and while hibernating it doesnt waste battery life...if the laptop is on, there are settings where your screen will shut off automatically after a certain amount of time but if the laptop itself is on it'll consume battery life.

When it's hibernating it uses no batts. Period. Set your power settings to have it hibernate whenever you close the lid an' you're good to go.
