What type of voltage converter should I buy?

I'm looking to use my external battery for my Panasonic G7 for countless hours of recording, but I'm not sure which converter is more safe. From what I've read online the 5v to 9v is safe even thought it goes over the recommended 8.4v, it's safer to go over than to go under (I'm not an expert at all in this, just stating what I've read). On a site which I forgot its name, I've read that the 8.4v might not deliver full power to the camera, resulting in some big problems. So my question now is: Which one is better and safer?
