I spent many years playing with electronics before I became too stupid to remember years of study, back when I could see too.
I've come across too many expensive pieces of equipment blown from over voltage for the lack of a $5 regulator.
Just check the unit can handle the current and you're good to go.
I'm a "rather be safe than sorry" kind of person.
They also come with polarity protection.
Your best option is a high current buck convertor.
