One of the lesser known features of Android 4.4 was a new runtime called ART which should eventually replace the Dalvik runtime. The folks over at Android Police have a thorough comparison examining its effects on battery life.
The conclusion at the moment? ART can squeeze out very slightly better battery life than Dalvik can, but you won't see a ton of gains just yet. Keep in mind that ART is still new and hasn't been optimized for many devices or apps yet. If you want to try it out for yourself, users running 4.4 can enable ART in the developer options on their handsets. For a much, much more thorough rundown of the differences, check out Android Police's benchmarks at the link below.
