Default can i use a 12 volt battery on a 9 volt device ?

And why the 200µF capacitor?

Why not 10?

Too small to absorb the variations

Why not 1000?

Way too big for the voltage.

With a 78xx, you don't need 200µF on the output. 10 is more then adequate -
that is what the regulator is for. Be sure to put a 100nF or so cap in
parallel with it.
