    Hey guys, I'm going on a long trip tommorow and I want to maximize the battery life. I only plan to watch movies on it. Also, is this safe?

    Thanks...quick replies would be helpful as I leave in about 5 hours ;)

    You can't undervolt below .95 volts; that's what it defaults to when running on battery. The only way to change the voltage is on the multipliers above 6x.
