It's current (amps) not voltage that causes damage. Much of the cars sensitive electronics draws micro-amps ... it doesn't take much.
I learned this in high school ... and from a close friend of mine who is a BMW master mechanic who has seen his share of BMW's get towed in because of fried electronics due to a lack of reprogramming the cars computer after replacing the battery ...
