if I am reading your post correctly you want to limit the voltage to 12v rather than whatever the battery level is so you can protect the TV circuitry. That being the case you need a 12v Regulator, not 80 amps but probably 80Watts, Maplins sell one to suit. Go and discuss your requirements with them.
If the above is not what you were looking for then please explain your requirements in a little extra detail. Personally I use a small (150W) inverter and run the TV on 240V, everything is protected then.

so you want to rig a battery direct to the 12v tv? yeah? so the battery only runs the TV yeah?

personally I would ignore the talk of a power spike and take my chance. Never had a problem in all my caravan/motorhome days of a TV being blown up by a power spike from 12v

The tv will regulate the voltage itself. All 12v tvs are designed to do this, I've been running mine in the van for 3years with no problems.:thumb:
