Yes, any 'Battery Defender' style apps or appkillers can and will kill your battery time. It is relative to how you use them and how well you understand the phone's OS. Being Linux based, it is quite different from using a desktop PC where you utilize taskmanager to kill things. With this OS most apps are more or less "on deck" (to coin some baseball terminology). They are there. They are staying warmed up. They are ready to run up to the plate at a moments notice. However, they are not necessarily swinging the bat.... yet. But, if you(or your App) repeatedly force kill an app that sits by studiouosly waiting for it's turn, then the OS will notice it is missing and repeatedly reinitialize it to meet it's preset criteria for whatever situation you are in. This phone specifically studies your habits and tries to please you by having things ready at your beck and call... similar to predictive typing when texting, but doing so with actuall apps. If it is continuously restarting low priority and low usage apps because you are continuously killing them, then it becomes a huge cycle of repeated switching drain.
