Our 12v DC voltage regulator converts 7-40v input to stable regulated current output, eliminating the need for dropping resistors. Efficient & simple solution.
You will also want an under-voltage cutout to prevent the battery being damaged by over-discharge, as those converters will keep on working well below the lowest permissible voltage. And a fuse close to the battery. The size of converter will be determined by the maximum current at 12v that your load needs. Beware the maximum voltage of a freshly charged battery exceeding the rating of the converter.
