Regulating a battery is a tall order if it's a 12V battery and your equipment is 12V as well. Any form of regulator needs a supply voltage several volts in excess of the final regulated voltage, e.g. to obtain a 12 volt regulated supply the voltage regulator will need approximately 17V or higher. Considering the battery voltage will vary between approximately 13.8 volts fully charged and around 11 volts fully discharged you have no need for regulation if the C8's nominal voltage is 12V and you are using only the battery. If you're intending on running the C8 on mains power then a switchmode 12 volt plugpack is the best alternative, is well regulated, cool running and affordable.
