Constitutionally, they are the same as in peacetime.
In reality, wartime presidents have:
Suspended habeus corpus
Implemented martial law
Made it illegal to criticize policy
Put Japanese citizens into camps
Spied on their own people
The list goes on.

There is not one set of presidential powers for peace time and another for war time. Any "power" the congress give the president through ligislation, such as the war powers act, has to be consistant with the constitutional powers of the president.

Presidents do not have the power to declare war, only Congress can do that. They can send out troops for up to 3 mon. before they need Congress's aproval. Occasionally, in times of crisis, a president will strech/extend/overstep his power.
More in the Constitution.

The constitution makes no distinction- except for the one power the president has during times of "invasion or rebellion", which is suspending habeas copras. Other then that, no extra powers are ever granted.
