Battery-killing apps: How to keep your phone charged longer

It's the curse of every smart phone user -- your battery doesn't last as long as your day does.

Some cellphone apps will eat up your battery life faster than others, even when they’re not running.

AVG did a test to find what things are draining the life out of your phone the quickest. The results? The Weather Channel app, Yahoo Weather, and Weather Bug eat up the life of your battery each day, even when you're not opening them to check the weather. As for the apps you open, Facebook, Spotify, Amazon Kindle and Snapchat will eat up your battery life.

If you have an Android, download Battery Doctor, Battery two X or another one of the battery savers that will help conserve your battery life and get you through that day.
