wondering about real world battery results post undervolt

I've tried undervolting before (on my gnex) and it most often ended in my phone randomly rebooting and sometimes crashing overnight, the alarm not waking me the next morning. So I quit doing it...forever. I don't doubt that you might extend battery life, but at the cost of performance. I equate it to buying a porche, then having a governor put on it so it wont go faster than 45 mph to make your gas last longer. What fun would that be?
That's just how I see it, and I have to say that I have no major complaints about battery life. I use the phone the way I want, and if it gets near dead, I plug it in. Having said that, try it out for yourself. If you end up not liking having the phone undervolted, you can always change back to normal.
I agree with grey. Undervolting introduces too much instability to your hardware, IMO, which is just not worth the effort for what usually amounts to a pretty insignificant gain in battery life. I also had a system for doing it religiously with my gnex but decided it just wasn't worth it after a while.
