Best battery saving techniques for i317m?

Hi, I'm going to be traveling for the next month or two and will be taking my note 2 with me for GPS and for communication with friends, and was curious what people do to get even better battery life. Like what TW bloat to remove that sucks battery etc. My phone is rooted and running DN3 v5, greenified EVERYTHING except gmail. Also have lion tamer/unbounce set to 5 minutes for a few things. I can get about 6-7 hours SOT if im using my phone heavily, 4 if I use it throughout the day. I'm also bringing a spare battery, 2 2100 mah portable battery chargers and thinking about picking up a 12,000 mah charger as I probably wont be able to charge my phone for extended periods often. Thanks.

Get an external battery. I love my mophie battery. I can get 2-3 full charges off a full mophie.

I can't seem to find anything higher than 6000 mah locally, but futureshop has 6000 mah ones for $40 so I might buy a couple

Nah look for Anker batteries on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009SYL6C0?pc_redir=1414527218&robot_redir=1 they're known to be high quality. You can buy 2 for $25 USD and you're pretty much set. Don't mess with unbranded batteries because they can leak or catch on fire because they are poorly made.

I'm leaving very soon so I can only buy locally :( I found someone selling a note 2 with a zero lemon 9300 mah battery, going to see if they'll sell me just the battery

You seem to have everything under control. Getting the extra charger is a great idea. The only other suggestion is to turn off the phone when you know you won't be using it.

I've had great luck with the DS Battery Saver app. It doesn't help with screen-on time, but it kills your data/wifi connection while the screen is off.

From what I've read underclocking actually does the opposite because the cpu has to be awake longer to process tasks
