Pantech Burst - Terrible Battery

[BryantInception]

Hi. I just got my Pantech Burst not even a week ago and my phone dies very easily. I only get about 5 hours of battery life just sending text messages to one person. It's so bad! I mean I loose like 20 percent every hour. I'm just texting one person! How is this happening?
Phone Settings:
1. Display turned all the way down.
2. GPS, Auto-Sync, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and all animations are off.
3. No lock sounds, no haptic feed back, and no live wallpaper.
4. Screen Timeout = 30 seconds
5. I have Juice Defender and it only lets any app sync every 2 hours.

What do I do? I've looked everywhere and tried everything to get longer battery life... :'(

It might be a defective battery. I have the burst with haptic feedback turned on, no sync disabled, texting and everything and i get at least 6 or 7 hours with heavy usage.

"Texting one person" means nothing. What matters is how much time the screen is on and how often the radio is talking to the towers.

It's not on very often. The person I text is a slow texter and only responds like every 5 minutes or so.
