It is rare when I use my MBP on battery power. But is there a way to only enable automatic graphics switching when on battery power?

You can try an application called "gfxCardStatus" :)

    Not anymore; gfxCardStatus has removed that feature.

Yes.

Go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver There are two tabs at the top of the window; one for battery and one for AC power.

Set the graphics switching option by checking or un-checking "Automatic Graphics Switching" in those tabs.

    Sure, but the "Automatic Graphics Switching" checkbox is outside, meaning that it's a global setting.

    This answer is inaccurate. No reason to keep it.
