Steady voltage: in the past, automobile power was somewhat iffy. Voltage fluctuations were common. But in current automobiles, the smartphone car charging system is more stable and reliable. However, you can still get spikes. These can commonly happen when starting the car. The automobile system goes from drawing potentially hundreds of amps from the battery to absorbing a full-on charge from a fired up engine.

One should not be surprised if some voltage spikes or fluctuations get through the power take-off point (cigarette lighter for those of you who still do it). Lesser spikes might happen when large demands are made on the system as when the A/C comes on. Are these spikes and fluctuations harmful to a charging electronic device? Probably not, particularly if the device is well-designed.

Most quality chargers have some kind of smart chip that can measure the input current and detect when the battery (or cell) is fully charged and vary the voltage accordingly to prevent overcharging and eventual burnout. An obvious example is a charger for the car itself. By that I mean a device you plug into 110 volt AC and use to charge the battery in your car. These devices are quite sophisticated and usually come with an instruction manual that explains the process.

So the best I can tell you is to not buy the cheap adapter, and make sure to unplug it when starting the car. That is what I do.
