Default Charging while car is running?

Since a car's electrical system varies from 12V up to about 14.4 when running, is it safe to use a charger when the vehicle is running. For instance, my field is a considerable drive from my house. Would it be ok to start charging a battery and continue the charging while driving to the field? Will the different input voltages cause any problems with any particular chargers or batteries?
