You should be fine with this set up, but I would suggest getting a 12VDC to USB adapter as someone already mentioned, using an inverter is really inefficient.If I use the power inverter to charge my phone in two months, will the phone battery be affected?
Well, I wouldn't say that power is power for all devices.Power is power.
But you are correct when talking about charging an iPhone.
It doesn’t harm anything. Just wasted energy.So, you guys mean that it's not good to charge my phone with it, right? What about using the inverter to charge my laptop? Is it better to use a sine wave power inverter? (In my car)
No, everyone is saying you CAN charge your phone or laptop using the inverter with no issues...So, you guys mean that it's not good to charge my phone with it, right? What about using the inverter to charge my laptop? Is it better to use a sine wave power inverter? (In my car)

You charge your phone using the plug in your house right? That's AC power, then your adapter converts it to DC. Same thing... If you want to argue that turning DC power to AC and then back to DC is somehow bad for your device please list your sources...What people are saying is it's like buying milk, having it dried, and then adding water to the powder to make it liquid milk again.
The vehicle puts out DC voltage, the inverter converts DC to AC. The power adapter for the iPhone changes AC to DC. Going up to AC, and back to DC is just a road you don't need to travel. Save the inverter for something that can only work with AC voltage. If you have a MacBook Pro that charges with USB-C, you can even charge that through a lighter to USB-C adapter. (Charging a MacBook Pro won't necessarily charge as fast as plugging it in to a wall outlet, but it will charge.)
If you were to stick to the inverter, use Apple power adapters as they won't pass garbage power so readily to whatever is plugged in to it.

My sources are physics and electronic classes. Beyond that my time is too valuable to look it up for you so forget any costs.please list your sources...
There are really good inverters that put out a correct sign wave. They cost more. And cheap inverters can be fine for some applications like heating coils.Semi drivers use multiple inverters all the time to power their fridges, Tv, Microwaves and such. Works fine for them to.
I’m not interested in looking it up because I already know the answer. I run a high quality inverter in my off road rig and know it has performed exceptionally and has never damaged any device or product hooked up to it. You get what you pay for. If you use the right products you won’t have an issue. My post pointed out that going from D/C to A/C to D/C doesn’t cause any problems. If you use a cheap inverter then I wouldn’t argue problems could arise just like using a cheap charging brick. As far as paying to have sources listed it’s clearly stated in the forum rules that they shouldn’t have to be paid for...Cheap inverters put out a modified sign wave with truncated spikes or flat spots in the current output. Electronic components tend not to like that as they were designed for true sine wave ac current that smoothly flows from positive to negative 60 times per second.
If you are really interested look it up, there are hundreds of articles. My sources are physics and electronic classes as well as articles you can just as easily look up. If not than don’t, makes no never mind to me. My fee for looking up things is $50 per hour, but will discount you by 10%.

This would depend on whether it is a pure sine wave or modified sine wave and what electronics you are using with it.I run a high quality inverter in my off road rig and know it has performed exceptionally and has never damaged any device or product hooked up to it.
Thank you.Should be fine. I had an inline 1000w/2000w peak inverter directly to my car battery which had 2 plugs and 2 USB plugs. I charged my iPhone XS and a Alienware Laptop with that for over a year while driving with no issues.
Thank you.
