Why is my Lumia 530 only giving me two hours of talk time?

[WPCentral Question]

lumia 530 only give two hours talktime? (it's supposed to be 10hrs)

I have tried a replacement battery, disabling apps and background usage, hard reset of
the phone. it's been sent back to the nokia repair center only to be returned and labeled as having no fault and are being very unhelpful with the issue?

I've had this phone for weeks and I hardly have used it at all, I do not drain the battery with playing games and messing around on it and I'm not constantly email and messaging as nobody has that number. The battery has been so useless I have not bothered giving out my new number until I get another new replacement mobile.

There are lots of things that can affect your battery life. If you live in or spend a significant amount of time in a location with poor cellular coverage, you're phone will work harder to maintain signal, and your battery charge will suffer.

You can also go into settings > battery saver to see if there are apps that are working in the background and using battery when you don't think they are.
