Overall I am very happy with it.

Yes, many chargers can´t provide stable voltage; the reason these can operate your connected device (such a mobile phone) is that the device is really being powered from the battery, while the battery is being charged.
But batteries produce very well stable voltage, however this voltage quality is not needed for charge purposes.
The ST/E circuitry is very sensitive to these non stable signal levels; quality power sources is needed, such an Ipod / Ipad power source or a Raspberry one.
I am glad it operates well!
