Limit voltage to 12v on a scooter bottery

I made a portable game cube and I added a voltage input so I could charge the battery or use it in the car whithout draining the batt.
Well the problem was that it would just take 2 hours to uncharge,and I didn't find that long enoughf since I play about 8 a day so I used a 12v electric scooter battery that would last 20 hous but Whan I connected it The gc wouldn't turn on and then I checked the battery with the polimiter and I got a reading of 12.7v and now the gcp wont turn on. Â¿How can I stop this happening whith the next on I make?

P.S: Is there anything I should do whith the old game cube exept keep the disc reader?

first, let's see some pics

.

second, you may have reversed the polarity. try opening up your supposed GCp and checking the GC psu. it may have fried, and you might have to replace it.

Pics to come soon when it is all painted up and running again...
Would revearsing the poalrity fry it? anyway does the gc have a psu? It has a 12v transformer.

no......it shouldnt, people here use like 14.4 volts so 12.7 shouldnt. And i'd like to see some pics! Sounds good.
