BENCH POWER SUPPLY - Help!

I wanted to be able to work with the control system at my home so I recently purchased a radio shack bench power supply model # 22-510.

It ranges from 12-13.8 volts and its 25 amps. It is switched but not variable amperage output.

Will I blow up the RC if I use this for power while testing?

If so, any suggestions on us9ing a switched power supply? Is there any way to rig up a voltage regulator...or an amperage regulator, perhaps a dimmer switch?

I can't find any specs on the battery itself. I don't have one inf rom of me and I'm guessing at model numbers on the mk battery site.
