I imagine you're thinking of running 3s? I don't think any mods are necessary really. Lipo nominal is 11.1v, "peaked" is 12.6v, and at LVC is ~9v (although I'd go no lower than 10v really). 8 Alkaline cells can be a little over 1.5v, which is 12v on the button. Don't think this will be an issue. You could use a v regulator, but the dropout voltage will be the limiting factor unless you use 4s instead.

Either way, I'd be more leary about making sure I kept an eye on the V to prevent discharging too low.
