You are fine feeding 12 VDC into the 2004 controller. I confirmed that with IFI engineering a long time ago. I can't remember but it uses a linear regulator similiar to a 78M05 which is rated for up to 35 or so VDC.

Just make yourself a connector cable, confirm with a meter that you wired it up correctly and you can drive a long long time on a standard robot battery.
