I suggest you minimize the use of this kind of live wallpaper, as these live wallpaper keep running on background and drains so much of your battery. I suggest you use any black or blue wallpapers as they are still and not consume much battery. You can also on use your photo as a wallpaper on your device.

Under Settings > Battery you’ll notice “Power Saving Mode” and “Ultra Power Saving Mode”. These both do similar nonetheless totally different things and can prolong battery life for the tip of the day when you actually need it, or in cases of emergencies and more.
