I'll bet anything between 10 and 14 volts would work for the board.
It's the motor that likes the higher voltages..

I was thinking of using 10v because it should be easy to build a 10V 1A regulator with 13.6 as a source.
I think the relays and comparator might even work using 9V too.
The goal of using a 10v regulator is to isolate the PCB from being directly connected
to the battery with it's motor loading & solar charger ups & downs..
