Portable batteries might still be your best option.

I think this discussion, despite its enlightening meandering, has revealed that in my case it's not clear cut so testing is the only way to know.

The only I chimed in was because it seemed to me that people were misunderstanding you.

I'm sure you and the other participants in this discussion are aware of this, but I'm mentioning it for other who might be reading and thinking of under clocking for battery life: it's not that simple. Under clocking can lead to worse battery life
if the processor stays awake longer to finish a task, but could otherwise have gone to sleep.

That doesn't bother me at all. This is not my project, and anything that comes out of this discussion will probably never be used by me in any form.
