    Thank you Henrik!!!
    Will the PIC then also be able to run on the 12V?

    No, not directly on 12V it won't.
    You'll need a voltage regulator to bring down the battery voltage to a range that the PIC can operate on, what that range is is stated in the datasheet but usually 2.5V to 5V.

    It certainly will, as long as your PIC is designed for 5V
