I think you will find all your 12 volt electronics will last longer if you don't run them when on the battery charger.

An alternator would help, You wouldn't need to worry about the ignition getting 16 volts while the engine is running.

Like other have said a step down resistor

A small 12 volt jump box to run just the pump and fans between rounds.
