Blackberry 8520 battery issues

[Primo]

With the continous use of various applications is it possible to extend battery life?

If continuous use includes closing them when you are done then yes.

It's not hard: to close most applications press and hold the back button will do it. Although I usually don't bother I just charge every day.

bro, i use Facebook alot, BBm alot, and listen to music for atleast an hour and the battery lasts me 2 days.

How long do you want it to last ?

That doesn't seem right for an 8520 (I've got a 9000 with terrible battery life and I only get a day). Are you running bluetooth and wifi a lot?

any application you run that is not push (ie MXit is not push) it will drain ur battery dead in a few hours. Check that all ur applications that you are using have push enabled and that there are no random apps (mostly IM's) open (hold the blackberry button). If u are only using bbm and the facebook app you should have atleast 2days.
