launchers plus themes

[justplainme0485]

I am wondering do launchers and themes use more battery power on your phone? I tried go launcher and it ate my battery life like it was nothing. I like stock but want a change

That should not happen. A launcher is basically just a skin over the phone's os.
There must be something else causing the battery drain.

Launchers should not affect the battery life at all, its possible something was running in the background, some sort of add-on that came along with it. I have Nova (Prime) and a few other launchers I have purchased (get bored and change often) so try another if that one didn't work.
